With an upgrade, problems with applications or the OS may follow you into the new load.Install off of your Windows 2000 CD and then have Windows search for your Win 98 CD when it checks for valid upgrade path.

What is one reason to clean install rather then upgrade when migrating from windows 98 to windows 2000?
On "large" drives, it is advantageous to use the NTFS file system for performance and reliability. Windows 2000 will offer you the choice to convert your existing FAT32 file system to NTFS. However, there is always a risk of the conversion failing, and you losing valuable data. By backing up the data beforehand and formatting the drive clean instead, you will not risk data. Also, many installed programs will not work right after an upgrade, and will need to be reinstalled anyway.
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.
