    HI!

    First i would like to say how great this forum is... and to say sorry if my question was already posted somewhere :eek:

    I would like to do a fresh install of Vista to get rid of the some junk that is here. I have never worked with Windows that are on partition....

    Can you describe me the procedure... how to get to the point where i can start to make fresh install. If i press F2 I still can't get to bios...
    When I do that can i also change the size of two partitions???


    One more thing if I update BIOS does everything stays as it is (settings in it)?

    Thanks!!!

    I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this...

    I made recovery disks, and driver&app backup. But i would like to install ONLY Vista that is on hidden partition... How do i do that, how do i get to that point? If I had Vista on DVD i would do it no problem, but this i really don't know...

    Please help...

    EDIT: I figured out the soulution!

    Here it is if anybody needs it.

    Couse I did not get Anytime upgrade DVD with my 5920g, i downloaded it from internet. With it I could make a Clean Vista instal as written in guide suggested above (thx for the link Lithus)


    Now I just need to install drivers and all the needed apliccations. I must say it works lot's faster now :)
