Yeah, no upgrades for me either.

If you can, it's always a good idea to get the standalone version, not an upgrade.

Reformat > Install OS > Upgrade SP2

A Windows XP Upgrade version costs much, much less that a full version. An Upgrade can perform a clean install just as a full version will providing you have a qualifying product to feed it when asked at the beginning of installation. The qualifying product can be any version of Windows from Windows 95 up.

A properly prepared for, and executed, upgrade can save hours of work. I have a tips page here http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/upgrade_tips.htm
