I recently did just that. I purchased the upgrade version and did a clean install. What I had to do is put the old syetem disc i.e. Win98 in the cdrom during the upgrade verification phase. Once it verifies you own a previous version it will coutinue with the clean, full install.
 
Of course , because it just depends on some system files , and some services in your previous Windows ,,
But At a Whole Setuation , You can Make a Cleaaaaaan Installation :) Mohamed Farid
