I used an advance install on an xp oem version to
overwrite/reformat my hard drive and do a full install
over win 98. I thought it would get rid of my old files
especially when I chose the ntfs format,but it did not. I
have tried to reformat my hard drive with a boot disk but
it says that is not a supportable command now that I am
using xp.

Don't know what you did, but see the link below. BTW If this is an OEM, you
can only do a clean install.
You boot from the CD and do a clean install.
Click on or copy and paste the link below into your web browser address bar.
