you can do a clean install... but you need to format and install win 98 first... it's just an extra step...
it's just I've found doing a clean install with the home full version nearly impossible without going thru win 98... anytime I try and delete the primary partition it says it can't do it... alas... I dual boot and actually like it a lot better anyway!
anyone else have problems doing a clean install of xp?... clean meaning not leaving all your old files hidden on the harddrive...
