I got the XP upgrade for Christmas along with Parallels.

I had the Win 98 CD from Virtual PC (but lost it), but still have the actual registered MS COA label with the product key. Of course, I don't have Virtual PC running on my Intel Mini, so I'm kinda stuck.

Parallels/XP upgrade won't let me go any further into the install without a physical 98 CD in the drive. I was hoping that it would install and then I could call MS to activate it.

Any ideas? Or am I stuck returning XP upgrade and getting the full install (which I would really hate to do).

Personally, i would check with some friends locally and see who has a Win98 disk I could borrow just to get through the install.
