Ok, that makes sense. A workaround that causes longer install time but it's
doable.
Thanks for the link, Paul.
Btw, IIRC doesn't windows 2000/xp upgrade version allow us to do clean
install on an empty HD? Setup searches for older version setup media (CD) as
proof that we have it, no?
True.
That's a lot easier than having to install Vista
without entering a Product Key followed by an upgrade of the same product
I guess MS don't want to make it easy for us. Things like this make me want
to give other OS a try. Perhaps it's about time.
