    So this is my big question for upgrading vista....do i lose all my installed programs etc when i upgrade??

    do i lose all the music etc that i have?? if so is there any way of backing up everything so i can restore it after (somethin like genie backup etc) cause i'm after buying microsoft office and i'll hold off installing it if i have to reinstall it again!!

    If you're upgrading from XP to Vista (i.e. running Vista setup from within XP), then you won't lose everything. In fact, you shouldn't lose anything.

    If you're doing a clean install of Vista, it may format the drive, which will mean that everything is gone. I haven't run through a Vista install yet, so I can't advise you any further.

    well thats good news, i think it'll just be an upgrade, i dont think the upgrade dell are sending will accomodate a dual booting type thing (which i have read something about but know next to nothing about)!
