Windows 7 install process
I'm going to try to reinstall windows 7 for the 3 time. I'm starting to think that I'll have to upgrade . I'm. Running a pentium 4 running at 2.4 ghz, and an Aopen motherboard. Is it worth trying?

How much RAM do you have? You need at least 1GB of it. Note that RAM does NOT equal hard drive. If you have this, you can try it out.
Im running 1.5 gigs ram and a 40 gig hdd running nothing else
You will be able to run Windows 7 32-bits just fine. However, you graphic card is considered legacy by nVidia (nVidia GeForce FX 5500). They have drivers for Windows Vista that should work on Windows 7.
Go ahead, you won't regret it!
Note : On a 40GB hard drive, you'll only have ~25 GB left after install. Please, take note of that
First backup your DATA.
All Linux code must be deleted using the CLEAN ALL command. As you have had linux on the HD you need do a Clean all & full format.
