Arlight, right now I have Windows Vista Home Premium with TONS of things wrong. I was wondering if I could partition my Local Disk, install windows vista brand new on it, and keep all my programs and personal information.

yes, you can go into the partition manager, create a new partition, and transfer all your files over to it, then reformat the primary partition with the OS on it. the partition manager should be in control panel and hardware if I recall properly.

Primary system: Motherboard: ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3, Processor: AMD Phenom II x4 945, Memory: 8 gigs of Patriot G2 DDR3 1600, Video: ASUS ATI 4890 and a Saphire 4890 in Crossfire, Storage: 1 WD 500 gig HD, 1 Hitachi 500 gig HD, and Power supply: Coolermaster 750 watt, OS: Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
Media Center: Motherboard: Gigabyte mp61p-S3, Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+, Memory: 6 gigs Patriot DDR2 800, Video: Saphire 4850, Storage: 500 gig Hitachi, PSU: OCZ Fatal1ty 550 watt modular PSU, OS: Windows 7 Ultimate.
