Clean Install of RC1

J

John Chamberlain

I currently have Beta 2 installed as an upgrade over XP.

Anyone care to give clean install instructions for RC1?

TIA

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.
