I think the point is that if it does not work he can always do his
"restore" again from the vendor CD... there's no huge risk... it it
works it works and if it doesn't it doesn't... but odds are if there
is an issue that issue will have been present, or will be present, on
his existing version.

Bit of a "suck it and see", but I would be interested to know the outcome.
