Yes, I did try the XP over top. Same results... Basically choose to continue a new install at the screen that gives you the option to do a repair. Then it will offer you the choice of doing the load over top. It just replaces all the OS related stuff like Win98 did. I don't believe Win2000 offered that option.
I had been wanting to keep the Win98/XP dual boot as is, because both are configured as I want them. However I really only ultimately care about the XP, so I am next going to try ghosting the XP to a .gho. Then ghost it back to the new drive as the first and only partition.
And no I won't give up! Heck the best way to learn is when things don't go as advertised.
Good luck!
