    Installing 7 to Scaleo E


    Hi!

    Im thinking about installing W7 to my Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo E -HTPC.

    It has 3ghz pentium, 250gb HD, dvd-rw, 2gb ram, gforce 6600 with dvi. I am using my Thomson 32" lcd-tv as a monitor.

    Just asking if this setup is capable to run windows 7. I know its speedy enough (my aspire one has W7 installed on it) but is the installation going to be problem? I read somewhere that vista was hard-one for this

    Sorry, can't do that.. Runnin Ubuntu 10.10 at my scaleo...

    But anyway, who makes me not to try right??!! I am sure that its capable of running it smoothly, just woondering the installation-issues. Someone said that the bios might not accept it (few years old machine though).

    I will post how I did when my 7 arrives

    You will need to use a monitor, not your TV.
    The Hd will need to be cleaned.

    All Linux code must be deleted.As you have had linux on the HD you need do a Clean all & full format.
    Do a full clean & full format in command prompt.
    1) Boot DVD & Press Shift+F10 (for command prompt)
    2) Boot DVD, & Command Prompt at Startup
    (for command prompt)

    Type in command line
    DISKPART
    LIST DISK
    SELECT DISK # (win HD)
    CLEAN ALL
    CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
    SELECT PARTITION 1
    ACTIVE
    FORMAT fs=NTFS
    ASSIGN
    EXIT
    EXIT

    HI there, i just installed win7 on a Scaleo E HTPC and i´m experiencing problems with the soundcard driver not working hooked up to a 720p LCD tv it shows like a 1-2cm of the picture outside on each side ov the monitor.

    Are there any drivers? I downloaded the vista drivers from their website but couldnt find a way of installing it without using the device manager which failed to install giving the same error code 10 as before,
