774161 2009-05-18 07:31:00 Can I make a suggestion - Do the Following and it should go perfectly.:thumbs:

Make sure the drive you want W7 on has no data to keep - Installing W7 will usually Wipe the drive.

Edited: Dont try the Upgrade from another OS takes a damn longggggggg time - fresh install is always better.

Okay- Here we go:

After downloading the ISO Image--

Download and install the ISO recorder I mentioned in Post #3. (you wont see any icons appear any where thats normal)

Once installed, Put a BLANK DVD in your drive.

Locate the W7 ISO file you downloaded - RIGHT click it - Burn the Image as per Post#3. here is what you will see (www.imagef1.net.nz) ( or similar depending on your OS.) next you will get This window (www.imagef1.net.nz) - Mine has No DVD in the Drive but if it did it would show - then under the "recording Speed" select the slowest it will go - hit Next -- Walk away and make a cuppa - it will burn the Image and spit it out when finished.

Then as sweep mentioned make sure the PC will boot from the optical drive - and reboot, away you go, install W7

774164 2009-05-18 21:18:00 Hi wainui,
That is very generous of you-I have a medical appointment in a few minutes, when I return,then I will power off this XP,get the W 7 h/d going and see if I can do it-
from what I see of last night's final posting from you and Sweep I ought to be able--
The main reason I am self flagelating is I try to keep my 77 old brain from degenerating any further - as changing from a mechanical/transport/farming mentality has me working bloody hard,mentaly, things being so different nowadays
Yes I will reply by e mail direct to you and would like to offer some appreciation for that-
Give me 1 hour to try then I will be delighted to
NB- it is 32 bit machine,now 2 gb ram ,3.01 CPU
