I have done upgrades in the past where I have had to install the old OS
and then run the upgrade OS straight over the top of it because the
upgrade disc would not accept the supplied OEM disk as prove of a source
for upgrading. This has worked but I would still prefer to do it from a
freshly formatted disk though.
