Vista Upgrade w/ Clean Install on top of XP possible?
If I bought Vista upgrade and wanted to do a clean install (as has
been discussed on here and DailyTech), is it possible to do on my HD
with XP already installed? Usually the install gives you the option
of reformatting a drive before installation. Is that a possibility in
this case, or does the Install disc somehow know that XP is on the
drive?

Should I just reformat the disc and then restart and do the clean
install just to be safe?
