I'm not trying to pick a fight, but why on EARTH would you suggest that a "clean install" is a "first step" procedure???
A clean install is a "next to LAST step" procedure in my book (the last step being, of course, a full reformat/reinstall). There are literally a DOZEN other options prior to "clean install."
