Actually, it will wipe out the registry... if Windows is unable to boot for whatever reason, and you decide to "reinstall" it (even without formatting from DOS first) the setup will erase the entire previous install, including the critical registry files. I found this out the hard way...
[Edit] Forgot to mention, Windows (any version) is notoriously hard to get rid of without the aid of good ol' DOS and a copy of Partition Magic. I've set up my system in such a way that I can always perform a root canal whenever needed, by first installing DOS, then W98 on partition one, W2K on partition two, and finally Linux on partition three. These partitions act as independent drives, the only thing they have in common is that they are all part of the same harddisk, and can be whiped easily [/Edit] ------------------ "Cry havoc and let's slip the dogs of Evil"

Good initiative, maybe we do need to try and restore the turnippian empire into it's former glory, as in the days of yore... Well first thing's first, where's PsyLiam? His wellbeing demands for him to get one assful of urple, and two on sundays. And, well, seeing as it's 4:30 here, you had better brace yourself. Find something to bite down on, maybe a belt or other leather accessoire?

Really, now. Start him off on light urple first. One can only take so much at the beginning. Or so I've heard. From other people. Who aren't myself. As in, not personally.
