I searched before posting, but couldnt find an answer, so hopefully all of you wonderful people at windrivers can help. I have a friend who just got the upgrade version of XP. He was going to do an upgrade from ME, but i encouraged him to do a clean install instead.

From what i have read, you can format the drive and do a clean install of XP with an upgrade CD, you just have to insert your old windows disk for verificatin, when it prompts you. the problem is, he doesnt have a full version windows CD. THis is one of those OEM 95 install, upgraded to 98, upgraded to ME. My question is this: is a win ME upgrade disk a qualifying product for upgrade to XP?

Can he run XP setup from his XP upgrade disk, and insert his ME upgrade disk when it prompts, and do a good clean install XP that way?
