If you completely zero filled at least the first few MB of the drive then you will have wiped the MBR and partition table (and the extra Acer...
Thanks Dennis - I'm going to have a go at this over the weekend. I doubt it will be easy or straight forward, but we'll see. McT.
The Vista Anytime Upgrade disk you have is a full Vista DVD. It appears to be identical to the retail disk. I’ve experimented with it and you...
Hi Folks A friend of mine installed this adware on his system and now wants rid of it. I’m sure it will be easy enough for me to excise it and...
