Your point, besides proving your English is flawed?
Installation of Vista over XP is not much different from a clean
install.
Yes, it is, much different, especially if the XP installation is
compromised.
The fact that you juxtaposed them indicates that you have no idea
how to do either.
The fact that you posted this sentence indicates that, again, you
don't know what you're talking about.
Vista is much, much superior than XP in many respects.
Yeah, it makes you call India more frequently and makes you spend
money on hardware.
Your XP/Ubuntu message is dying.
You wish.

Cute. Proof? I've never sold software in my life of any kind. I'm

Vista is MUCH MUCH better than XP.
Opinion, not fact.
You can install Vista over XP (same drive) and XP folders will be
preserved in windows.old folder.
And then the fun begins! Course the OP wanted to know about a clean
install on a "new hard drive" but there you go again, knee jerking
your garbage into the news group.
You can install Vista at a separate partition (like I did) and you
will never use that partition again, most likely.
Never use the Vista partition? Do you ever proof read your messages?
To Dino: you can clean install an update version of Vista. See this
web site for instructions:

I have run the upgrade advisor and replaced the video card asDavid said:Yes you can, but think about this first. Do you have Vista drivers for
your computer's hardware components? Vista drivers for printer, etc?
Don't expect that all of your treasured third party software will run on
Vista. Some will but possibly some won't. Are you willing to spend the
money to upgrade to Vista compatible versions?
Start by using Microsoft's Upgrade Advisor.
Do your research first, or you will have problems and will be back here
posting about issues.
I upgraded to Vista and will never look back, but if you are running XP
on an older machine you shouldn't take upgrading lightly.
suggested.I can't believe that I had to activate windows over the phone
because it said that I had exceeded My number of activations over the
internet.It has been 3 years since My last activation.I was on hold for
a long time and then had a hard time understanding the rep.
I will just keep WinXP until I can't run it any longer.I will no longer
buy an OS that has to be activated.

Alias said:Ubuntu is a South African ethical ideology focusing on people's
allegiances and relations with each other. The word comes from the Zulu
and Xhosa languages. Ubuntu (pronounced "oo-BOON-too") is seen as a
traditional African concept, is regarded as one of the founding
principles of the new republic of South Africa and is connected to the
idea of an African Renaissance.
A rough translation of the principle of Ubuntu is "humanity towards
others". Another translation could be: "the belief in a universal bond
of sharing that connects all humanity".
It has nothing to do with Nigeria and it's clear you have no "humanity
towards others".

I always thought Ubuntu was an African word that meant that Slackware is
to hard for Me so I will use Ubuntu.

Thanks for this info as this is the controller that I have.PapaBear said:Short Answer - absolutely. I did it on the machine I'm posting from 9
months ago. As one other said, tread carefully on older machines. Run
the free Vista Upgrade Advisor available here. 'Windows Vista: Upgrade
Advisor' (http://tinyurl.com/27pekc)
Secondly you may want to visit this link to Paul Thurott's website to
read his article on the installation proceedure.
http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_upgrade_clean.asp
First make sure you download all the drivers you need on your machine.
You can download Belarc Adviser available at 'Belarc Advisor - Free
Personal PC Audit' (http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html).
I have found it very useful. Be advised there are problems floating
around on webforums about installing Vista on machines that have the
Intel 82801ER SATA matrix controller. The flip side is that people who
are trying to downgrade to XP on some laptops are having problems with
the Intel 82801HEM SATA Matrix controller. If you have the ER
controller, see if you can borrow a Vista install disc and do a test
install using Thurrott's method. I applaud you using a second drive, for
JIC you can always go back with no harm.
After installation, some software may need to be upgraded or replaced.
Office 2000 runs fine, Quicken 2006 installs, but is quirky, Quicken
2007 and 2008 are ok. Avast's most recent anti-virus is fine, AVG Free
7.5 anti-virus is ok, 7.0 (should have been ugraded month's ago) will
not run. Webroot's Spysweeper if you have updated will be ok. I'm not a
gamer, so I can't address them.
Good luck and post back if you have problems.

No need. Vista is well advertised and everyone already knows about it.
That said, Frank is posting on alt.os.linux.ubuntu with his usual lies,
insults, profanity and bluster and all he's getting is being plonked and
slam dunked.

You only speak for yourself. Judging from my emails, many people are
very happy to hear there is an alternative to the intrusive Windows
experience and they didn't know about Ubuntu until I posted here.
