| 407046 | 2005-11-24 14:51:00 | I want to wipe HD and re-install, but cannot get to start because after clicking install when Win Cd inserted, it says Win version on HD is newer than CD and 'continue' button is blanked out. I have XP SP2 on HD and SP1a on disc. Advice anyone? |

| 407049 | 2005-11-24 18:48:00 | WHY BOTHER........the xp install gives you the option of removing and recreating partitions........just do that....... | drcspy (146) | ||
