I've just loaded OS 6.2c . Iam not sure if that is what you call a fresh install or not. I tried to follow steps on forum to do that.
Turned on system inserted iso disc , shut system off , turned back on ,window says installion, then finished. I now see version is 6.2 c but project still remains. I thought when you do a fresh install you lose everything.
Thanks fdor your help.

Greg,

What you did was a nondestructive upgrsde.

If you were just moving to the new version and were not suffering other issues that is fine.

To do a full, destructive install to make sure the drive and OS is squeeky clean, ie:Fresh Start you answer NO when asked if you want the system to do an upgrade.

Then it will ask you if you want to perform a full, destructive install and ask you if you are sure.

That requires answering YES twice.

Thanks Tim But is there a certain way to intiate the destructve install?
As I don't remember seeing that question to answer yes to.
Thanks again

It has been a while since I did a full, destructive in the old Smart Edit system, but it begins I believe asking you for the language.

Then I think it asks do you want to do an upgrade (I had a Solitaire which would ask which drive as well)?

You can choose Yes or No, choose No.

Then it asks if you want to do a full install, choose Yes.

Then it will caution you that this will lose all your data on the drive and are you sure and you choose Yes again and it begins the full, destructive install process.

After it completes it instructs you to remove the CD and power cycles.

Then you need to reset the various settings that you do not use in their default settings and load/activate your optional software.

When I get to the question about a full in install the system turns off.
Any ideas.
Could the ISo dvd upgrade be bad?

Yes.

Although, it allowed a successful non-destructive upgrade with the same CD?

I don't see how the CD can be bad for a full, destructive install if it was good for a successful upgrade.

You check in System Settings, lower left hand corner and it is stating it is now 6.2c?
