Hi Chaps,
Had the same problem as everyone else, I was hoping to install windows 7 pro 64bit. I am currently using win xp 32bit. My system is compatible. I currently have xp on my c:\ and I have another drive I was going to install windows 7 on. I was hoping to dual boot.
Anyway, so I have been trying to make an iso after downloading and putting that app in system32. I have succeeded a couple of times, but each time I have used a slightly different instruction in the cmd prompt, can somebody confirm which is the correct one?
I also don't have a dvd burner so was hopeing to boot from a mem stick. I think I found a way to do this, has anyone else done this successfully?
I tried last night and despite changing boot order in the bios, it didnt work. This may be because I didnt do the Iso correctly, or the fact my cruzer 8gb seems to still have something stored on it. I formatted it, but when I plug it in, it still starts its proprietry software, I am thinking this could also be a problem.
As a back-up I have been downloading the torrent of Windows 7 64bit pro linked a couple of pages back, however my system crashed twice while downloading it, will this have damaged the file? I could continue downloading when I logged back on. I will still need to install via a memstick.
Thanks for any help
