Yep I had an idea that what was happening and why I suggested clean all or wipe that drive if he wasn't intending having both OS's on it.Hello so a few weeks ago I bought a second hand laptop it a Dell Inspiron 1300, So I got this with windows 7 and it original os is vista anyway I have my own win7 and tried to reinstall a fresh copy but when I go to download drivers I can because I dont have vista, Can someone help me here please how do I download these files with win7, Thanks in advance for any helpThe computer was originally sold with Vista John, when the OP bought it it had win 7 installed on it.
The newest drivers available from the manufacturer are for Vista.
For reasons unknown, the OP is reinstalling win 7 over the previous win 7 using their own version, but is having trouble with the Vista drivers.
I don't think there is a dual boot involved here, just the trouble with the vista drivers from Dell.
I am going to leave it to you blokes as it is a bit confusing to say the least.:)
