Sorry to be late, (out of town). I think you are right and am about to run a
Vista installation disc purchased from Dell with the computer. Incidently,
found a Microsoft note in their FAQs that instructed to go to "Advanced Boot
Options" and click Repair your Computer to get a clean C drive. Tried to do
that but had no "Repair your Computer" item in the list of options in
Advanced Boot Opions window. Tried several times, hit F8 as directed, etc.
but no luck. Thanks for your response, will try new installation.
