    Good People,

    I bought a DELL Vostro A860 (still waiting for it). I want to get rid of Vista Home Basic and put Vista business on the HD. I like a clean install (wipe the HD) but I don't want to lose the DELL partition. Is there a way to do this?

    So the DELL hardware test is on a seperate partition, that hopefully will show up in the HD setup in Vista business?
