What is one reason to use a clean install rather than an upgrade when migrating to windows 98 to windows 2000?

There is absolutely no reason to update from windows 98 to windows 2000. Windows 98 is a much better operating system. If you want to update to XP then reasons exist to upgrade. With any operating system, programs have been added and deleted. The programs and data can be all over the disk in spite of all attempts to prevent it. The directories can be a mess. Totally cleaning the disk and starting over means the disk will be totally clean. The registers will be clean. The files will be clean. The programs will all be in one piece. The data will all be in one place. The directories will all be clean and accurate. You will start without any viruses.


Do you need a drivers disk as well as the Windows 98 disk if you have 98 SE upgraded from 95?

No, you shouldn't need a drivers disk besides the Windows 98 disk. It is however always better to do a fresh clean install rather than an upgrade as this just "overlays" your Windows 95 and there have been some problems with the upgrades. If the system asks you for a certain driver, you can alway go to Microsoft and download the needed driver for free.
