MOST EVERYONE is a "guest"!!! That board sucks/leaches 90% (or more) of its messages from Microsoft servers to make itself look busier than it really is. Everyone using those and other servers show up as "guests". So... there's no big deal to being a "registered" user. |

Hi,
Boot with the Vista disk and begin the install. At the point where you choose the install location, delete all existing volumes. Create a new one from the resulting free space, then format and proceed with the installation. It's that simple. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "bigcroc" wrote in message ...
