Need to win95 or 98 disc reinstall XP!

I recently wiped (using wipedisc) C & D of my portable disk and then reinstall XP. The problem is the laptop requires a drive for any type of pre-Windowsxp... it rejects my not recognized Windows XP genuine as disk and requests 95, 98 2000 or Millennium. The laptop is only 4 years old so I'm surprised and annoyed.

What I have to install Win95 to then install XP on top? And if so, how can I find Win95!

Is there another way around this?

Please notify.

Looks like you have an UPDATE of XP edition.

This means that you must provide an eligible operating system to be able to install a version UPDATE of XP.

As far as I KNOW, your only recourse is perhaps to look on Ebay...
