Dell Dimension 4600

I have the above which was gifted to me and it comes with XP.  I am trying to upgrade to windows 7 with the original disks from Dell, but it just would not work.  I tried inserting the Dell windows 7 Upgrade Assistant DVD and rebooting, but it still boots up XP.  Then I tried hitting F12 when it boots and getting it to boot from the DVD, still XP boots up.
Can this pc ever be upgraded to windows 7 with the original configuration?  If Yes, how do I do it. thank u.

Have you tried running this Dell upgrade disc after having booted and logged into XP? This may be one of those types that requires you to run the process from within the OS.
