Can I install windows xp over 98, or should I install on a new virtual pc? If I install on a new one, how do I move stuff over from the old one?
My xp os is for a dell computer
 
You wont be able to install a Dell OEM Windows XP in a VM, new one or not. (It's locked to a Dell BIOS.)
 
Actually, you can with the previous OEM CD's, because I've done it. However, do not expect the OS to generate a valid PID for you.
