Re: "tricking" Vista ultimate upgrade to install on clean HDD?
This is a good question. I look forward to the answer. I don't think you
will be able to. Hopefully, someone will chime in soon on this. I've
posted recently highlighting the problems with the Upgrade DVD path MSFT has
apparently chosen to take including Ed Bott and George Ou ZDNET blog
articles this morning on that subject.
The short version is that if you don't have a Vista full DVD, you won't be
able to access the most effective Vista repair modalities (see my other
threads) via the Upgrade DVD.
