re: Installing XP from ms-dos (with no os installed) Monday, February 7, 2005 at 6:20 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by cherry (76 messages posted) U r misunderstanding the "upgrade process" with an upgrade cd. With a bootable xp cd, one can upgrade from a windows environment or can run setup after booting from the cd. That option is not there when u purchase a "upgrade only" xp cd, which is approx 200 bucks less than the real xp cd. Thats the diiference between the two types, u pay more to install xp from a formatted HDD. An "UPGRADE ONLY" version disk requires a windows environment to run. Hope this clears.
