andrewd86 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I am selling a computer later, and have told the woman that I may be able to provide her with a fresh install of windows vista. However, due to the limited 120gb HDD I would like to avoid ending up with a dual boot system. If the system currently runs vista, and I try to reinstall vista from disc, will the old install be overwritten or be installed side by side?How can I ensure that there is only the fresh install present on the system?Thanks in advance chaps!

AlanHo Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 You are given a clear option to install in the same volume - thus over-writing the existing OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't missed this option - just haven't started yet, just thought I'd check I wasn't going to bump into any issues before I get going. Thanks ever so much for your help :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 You will know when you're dual-boot installing anyway because it asks for several partitions to be made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
