-=PCTechTalk=- Re: OS install from HP Operating System DVD

All depends on the formatting of that second drive.  Can it be seen from 
within your Windows install or is the drive hidden from Windows?  My guess 
is that it's a format that Windows does understand since that OS can be 
removed via Add/Remove.  If Windows can see it, the old Linux install is not 
the reason for the failure now.

My reply that using a Recovery disk for slipstreaming was possible was based 
on several nLite forum threads.  I was not looking to do anything like this 
so I didn't bookmark any of them, but I know they're there.
