So...the original machine had Windows Vista which I then purchased a Win7 upgrade for ....
I need to find it again, but there is something around here that shows that you can legally use Win 7 upgrade s/w to do a full up install, correct???
Not sure how I would do that if I downloaded a Clean SP1 copy from digital River??
Last question on this post....I dont remember if I installed the AHCI drivers with the Win 7 upgrade...? Is there anyway to tell?? I am currently running in what Dell calls ATA mode with the only other choice being RAID. I have read that the RAID setting in BIOS is actually an AHCI equivalent even if there is only 1 drive...
And lastly, thanks to all who are trying to get me through this...I REALLY appreciate all of your efforts....
