Fresh system

Hi Jafans,

You can only upgrade Win XP Pro to Vista Business, Ultimate or Enterprise
(if you have a suitable licence). All other versions of Vista need to be
clean-installed. If you follow the instructions in my post 'Clean Install
Windows Vista Using Upgrade Media' in the newsgroup 'Windows Vista
Installation and Setup', (dated 9/21/2007), you should be able to solve your
problem. In actual fact, regardless of the version of Vista that you have I
would recommend a clean install as opposed to an upgrade install.
