Windows 7 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit

Are you getting the prompt to Press Any Key to Boot DVD? What exactly happens then?

No I'm not getting that. It sounds like its trying and then just boots to installed version of OS. Could it be my DVD drive? I have a second one. I could unplug the main on and put the second one in its place right?

Good idea, since the DVD is retail and likely good.

Is the iso something I could try too or no?

I switched them and now nothing for optical drive shows up in BIOS. do i need to do something?

Make sure both cables are connected securely to OD, mobo and power supply.

Is this retail Win7 DVD which you've used to install before?

Do you have a 4gb flash stick to try next?

i do have a 4gb usb
i haven't used the dvd before just the 32bit version

This is what i was going to do next. starting now
