You're very welcome! Vista is a whole new section in the stadium
grandstands, and many areas of it are still under construction. We are all
still leanring a lot as we go here too. Well, at least those of us who
aren't afraid to admit that we don't know everything. :-) While we want to
think that we have Club seats, we sometimes have a hard time seeing around
the post directly in front of the glass window. ))

Post back and let us know how things go for you on the reinstall.

Apart from the previously told situation......my DVD rom crashed and i
didnt have a source for vista in hand.
Also most of them told that they dont know to remove that corrupted
copy of
GRUB(BootLoader)....
So i made a backup in other HDD and i tried to repair the RC1 booting
from dvd, but it doesnt work(upgrade disabled..-should be run from
windows).So i formatted the HDD and installed a fresh copy of XP and RC2.
Can you tell me about GRUB......How can we edit those things?????????
