"Distributing an installation program that can wipe out the user's hard disk instantly on a single wrong keystroke, without so much as a confirmation prompt is so shortsighted and irresponsible that I can barely believe it. "
Doing an installation on a machine that you obviously care about, with two existing OS installs at risk, in the casual manner you apparently did also defies belief. *Any* install can result in disaster if not done with proper respect for the process and no UI tweaks in the installer will save someone who doesn't read carefully and prepare carefully. Did you do a full backup before starting this exercise? Did you read the FAQs on installation and multi-booting? The latter warns you, in no uncertain terms, that what happened to you can happen to you if you aren't careful. /Don Allen
