First of all thank you very much for taking the time... My goal is - I don't want to format the HD when insatlling from my UA cd (I want to keep the data on the HD). I want to delete or backup (by renaming the folder name) the windows, document and settings and program files - Folders . so when my UA cd insatlls it doesnt insatll over the previous insatllation, but a fresh installation of windows. This will prevent me from first boot with a boot cd and do all of the above and then restart the computer and run the UA CD... This is what I am trying to do, if anyone know a better way, for doing this, please say it so I'll use the optimal way. Thanks
