Upgrgrading windows 98 Second Editon to XP

[Guest Joe]

I have an HP Pavilion desktop that came with Windows 98 Second Edition. I

had upgraded to XP about two years ago. About one month ago my system kept

restarting by itself. I installed my system recovery disks to reformat my

hard drive. After re formating my hard drive, my copy of XP will not

download. I keep on getting error messages that the program has performed and

illegal operation and will be shut down, or missing dll. Any suggestions?

Windows XP will not /install/? Did you run any hardware diagnostics before

you formatted the HDD?

How do I run diagnostics? I am not too computer savy! Thanks for your

response.
