A Question thats bugging me!

[Yakob]

right, ok this is my question:
If i choose an upgrade version of an OS does it wipe my hard drive or something like that?

to make it easier:

I'm currently on XP and i plan to go onto vista (one day ) but i want to know if my HDD will be wiped if i use an Upgrade version.

Im not sure bout Vista,but it mite offer u a clean install or upgrade like other Operating systems wen u put in da OS CD. I another thing u need 2 keep in mind is,Does ur motherboard support Windows Vista?
Wats da model number on ur motherboard? Ill find out for u unless u already
noe.

No, an upgrade certainly shouldn't ruin your files. Just be sure you don't choose Full (clean) Install.

thanks for the replies i think i know what i'm gonna do now

which is ? wait for Vista SP1 I would hope, if you have any sense

a clean installation would wipe his harddrive, it gives u the option so just install new windows and name ur old windows as windows.old which you can then simply delete aqnd it will not affect your pc.
