Guest marina Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 I believe I have all the info I need to to a clean reinstall of Windows XP Home Upgrade, but I have one remaining question. My OEM OS on this machine is Windows ME. To do a clean format and reinstall should I boot up from my Windows ME boot floppy or from the Windows XP Home Upgrade CD? Will the Upgrade CD reformat for me or do I need something to show ME was previously on the computer? The instructions I've read on doing a reinstall have left me confused!
Guest Xandros Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Re: Boot Question on XP Reinstall The XP Upgrade installer will do the trick for you. Choose the option to do a clean install rather than upgrade ME. -- Xandros "marina" <marina@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B623380B-D63A-4CAB-B97E-764A4E63723D@microsoft.com... >I believe I have all the info I need to to a clean reinstall of Windows XP > Home Upgrade, but I have one remaining question.
