Thank you Dave,
Did you say "Do the parallel install, recover your data" so that I could
back it up? If so, I have already backed up the data so I assume that I just
need to clean install now. Is that correct?
I don't recall the option to install clean from the CD.. could you point me
how to do the clean install.
sorry I'm a pain, I just want to be sure.
thanks
