I'm trying to upgrade from Win98SE to XP Home, using the upgrade jobbie
not the full install.

The damn thing keeps locking due to a SCSI error that *appears* to be
related to my digital camera, yet I can't find an upgrade for it on the
interweb thingy at all, and asking the Microsoft site for the latest
drivers tells me I've already got the latest ones installed.

I d/l some drivers from the Olympus site that were supposed to be 2.5 and
upwards. Well, they were. Only I'm supposed to have 2.5 installed first
as the 2.5 and upwards means it installs 2.5.1. Can I find just 2.5 to
install? Can I buggery.

GAH.

Any ideas on how I can get around this problem?
 
When upgrading to XP remove all the Devices not needed for install. Bare
Minimum, then install the devices later.

Presumably this needs to be done before I do the upgrade? And, not being
a total IT goddess, what procedure do I undertake to remove the devices
not needed?

This probably seems like a lame stupid question, but as I've never done
an upgrade like this before, only a full install, I'm a bit lost as to
what to do for the best.

If you have one, a link to somewhere useful would suffice.

Thanks.

Peripheral devices, such as cameras, printers, scanners,
joysticks, etc. should be disconnected during the upgrade or
installation of an operating system.
