Format c: and then insert the vista upgrade disk that will probably ask for my original XP disk (dell oem). I have all my programs in a directory on the d: drive. Since the registry will be virginal I will probably have to reinstall them all again ? thanks johan	hotkiwi (6379)

537413	2007-04-01 07:06:00	Yeah, 20GB is about right. Fresh install comes in at about 12GB so there's room to work with for updates, etc - e.g. anything going into the Windows directory. Does the link basically say install fresh Vista without PKey, then 'upgrade' unactivated Vista? Cos that's the way to do it.	sal (67)
