Hi, Assuming you're not going to format to dod standards I really fail to see how a reformat would cause more downtime than what you're trying to do; I don't know if anyone else has run into this, but when I've done a 7 install over an existing one, I've often ended up with multiple active installs in a dual boot and I've had to mess with bcdedit to remove the ones I don't want anymore. Just format the thing; you'll only run into more issues like this if you don't. Cheers, Ben. On 11/16/12, Barry Toner wrote:

Search for that name in Registry (with Control+F) and see where it is found.
