Shawn,
I tried to use the express upgrade disc. It did not work. The tech support
at HP asked me to run an extended check on my hard drives. This check showed
that one of the hard drives was unreadable - the one that had the system
software in it.
HP will send me a replacement drive. I have to pay to get the files
recovered from the working hard drive.
Once I install the new hard drive and I will reinstall VISTA. Let us see
what happens..
