upgrading to Windows 2000 from Win98.... can't find current OS???

[AMD4SPEED]

I'm trying to Upgrade to Windows 2k on my laptop, which has Win98, but when I put in the Windows 2000 upgrade disk, it tells me it can't find the current operating system (OS) and does not let me upgrade. Does anyone know why it does this or if there's a way around it? I don't want to reformat my drive to get Win 2k on there.
Thanks,
Todd

Please don't think I am patronising in my answer!

To start an installation - upgrade or clean install - from a 32-bit version of Windows:

1. After Windows starts, insert the Windows 2000 CD.
2. A message should appear that asks whether you want to upgrade your computer to Windows 2000, click Yes.

If no such message, or something else happens, run \I386\Winnt32.exe from the Windows 2000 CD.

3. On the first page of the Windows 2000 Setup Wizard, select the appropiate option.

Hope this helps!
