Re: What to buy?

No. You would need to purchase a "Full Version" of
Windows Vista if you wish to clean install on a drive
without a previous Windows operating system. The
upgrade version of Vista is not bootable and does not
check for a qualifying Windows CD.

need to buy the full blown $230 version of the home premium or can i just get
the $160 upgrade? As in if i go and completely whipe my drive, can i pop the
upgrade CD in and put Vista on my computer?
