Glad to hear you finally got there! I take it the bootable DVD still needs an OS already installed before it installs Windows 7? For example, if my OS ever becomes unstable or fails to boot and I want to reinstall Windows 7, I would have to first install my copy of Windows Vista and then run the Windows 7 Bootable DVD?
