Then I told him that some fellas I know (HTF) recommend doing a clean install. Is that the same as installing onto a totally empty HD?Yes, when you boot to XP (or and most other Win OS packages that I remember) and atttempt to install you have the option of deleting a drive(s). You then format the drive and then install the OS on it. In your friends case especially, I would recommend starting from scratch and not trying to install over whatever may be left on the drive if anything.
