Can the Windows 7 upgrade preform a clean install?

I am sure this has been asked before, but I need to know if I get the upgrade disk and for whatever reason I have to do a clean install again, will the upgrade disk do that or will I have to load Windows XP back on then use the upgrade disk from there? Thanks a lot!

Hi jlmnet, welcome to SevenForums!

The easiest way to do this is to image your drive as soon as you install windows 7 and get all the updates. See Brinks tutorial on this -=> Here
