WinXP RC1 Upgrade to WinXP Home ?

[slaughters]

I have the WinXP RC1 installation on a PC and I want to install WinXP Home on it now. After inserting the WinXP disk it goes through a wizard and then tells me that my OS can not be upgraded to WinXP.

So,

How, besides reformatting my hard drive and putting windows 98 on it first, can I install Windows XP on it ?

well as far as i know u cant do that because windows xp RC1 is actually windows xp pro and u cant install xp home over it, u basically have to format it and clean install windows xp home.

also u dont have to install windows 98 first. (just boot from your xp home cd) when u restart pc

just install windows xp home.

also u might need some drivers and stuff for your modem video card etc... but in generall windows xp should detect most of your stuff
