| | Proper procedure for Vista clean install from XP I failed an upgrade, so I'm thinking of doing a clean install. I currently have XP Pro on my system and have a retail Vista Ultimate Upgrade DVD. What is the exact procedure to do a clean install with the uprade DVD? I only have one partition and want to wipe it clean for the clean install. Thanks, Tom |
