Alex said:You cannot upgrade *over* Win95 at all; it is not accepted by setup
as a sound base. But you can use a Win95 CD as evidence of
entitlement to do a clean install with the Upgrade CD. The
presumption I think was that there are very few Win95 machines that
would be capable of running XP, so that the extensions of setup to
handle upgrading over it were not justified (especially as Win95
might be on a FAT 16 partition)
Yes, quite right. Memory failure there. Windows 95 media will satisfy
the upgrade verification check, but you can't do an upgrade of a Windows
95 installation. Thanks for clarification Alex.
