Well here is my situation, I recently reinstalled my OS on my laptop and I was wondering if I did a clean install? I used the upgrade DVD my laptop came with.
These are the steps I took…
1. Reordered boot up sequence to start from disk drive
2. Started computer from disk and ran setup
3. Deleted the partition where Vista was installed but left recovery partition untouched
4. Then I installed a new copy where the previous version was located
5. I chose the activate over the internet option
6. When the installation was done I ran windows update and installed my programs
