Many thanks for being the light at the end of the tunnel for me ... you truly are a Rockstar! I greatly appreciate your prompt and excellent advice. Following your clear, concise instructions, I managed to perform a clean reinstall of the Windows Vista Home Premium Edition SP1 64-bit operating system on our Dell Studio 540 desktop without a glitch.
