Clean Install of RC1

I currently have Beta 2 installed as an upgrade over XP. Anyone care to give clean install instructions for RC1? TIA John C. Boot from the DVD. Don't pick the upgrade option if it's available. At the point where you specify where to install Vista pick the partition you want it on then click on the format button. This will erase the old install if it's on that partition. If the old install is on a different partition then format that partition as well. You will lose all data and programs that were installed. Make sure you have backups of your data if you don't want to lose it. Make sure you have the media to reinstall your programs. -- Kerry MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca/forum/Forum.htm
