Hello all,
Having a bit of trouble with my Samsung P210 (newly purchased). It's been set up to run Windows XP, but I own a copy of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, and would like to install that. However, after selecting boot from CD/DVD, it gets as far as uploading the files, and then as soon as it starts the main installation program it just restarts. Any ideas what I can do?
Regards
Windows XP boots. I can't get into Windows 7 at all even to select what type of thing I'd like to install.

Welcome to 7 Forums.
Isn't that a tutorial for getting windows XP mode for a windows 7 system? I want windows 7 from a windows XP system.
At what step in this tutorial can got to?
Clean Install Windows 7
Just for further info, it actually has a Windows Vista Business licence stuck to the bottom of it.
It gets to step 2 - doesn't make it to step 3
I got it on the student offer thing, through this website:
Microsoft UK Education - Home - Ultimate Steal
Though I gather it's another company that actually do the supplying on behalf of Microsoft. It was a download but I also had them send me a very legitimate looking backup disc, which I've previously used to install Windows 7 on another laptop.
