actually that isn't true.. I have done a reinstall, and it saved all the
old data to the C:/old_windows folder, or something like that..
I did a reinstall for a lady.. I tried to install linux, but the video
card was weird, couldn't see the install window to even start it, so I
had to give up & re-install windows.. She thought she was going to lose
all her Tunes, but we found them saved to a folder!!
