If you boot from the Win XP CD and do a normal 'Repair' of an existing
install, it appears to do the same thing as the following procedure:
Boot from XP CD, drill down & eventually press Enter to set up Windows XP
now, choose to continue installing a fresh copy of XP, press Esc, choose to
install XP on the existing partition, choose to leave current file system
intact, choose the existing Windows folder and to delete the existing Windows
installation in it (press L).
I am very curious as to the technical differences between the 2 approaches.
They both appear to delete the existing Windows installation and to reinstall
Windows XP.
Thanks very much for your help!!
