I currently have Vista Home Basic and paid to upgrade to Vista Business. I downloaded the upgrade and got through the compatibility portion and continued with the install. Then about a 1/4 of the way through, it decided it was not compatible after all.

Did I just mess up big time and purchase this upgrade for nothing? If I have to do a clean install, how do I proceed with an upgrade? Will I have to install something like XP first (which I have) and then apply the Vista business upgrade?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...please :'( Thank you!

you don't need xp..... just you have to clean install in your hard drive. format the drive using "drive option" at the time of installing vista business.
