Will,
Of all the times I've had to use recovery discs it's always been a total
clean install. I agree the XP disc will only contain XP, and if this was
supplied then roxio would have been supplied on a seperate disc.

Had a great time on Wednesday thanks, made us most welcome and met a lot of
very nice people!!!!
