    First, this thread is not for asking or discussing how to clean install vista with upgrade media.(from a fresh HDD)


    OK, I have a Vista upgrade disc, after I upgrade, would it be possible to clean install vista?(If something screws up).

    Thanks,
    Thomas

    My clean install guide talks about exactly this and walks you through the whole process. You will probably find answers to many of your questions there. See link in my sig.
