Ok, are you aware that those disks are Vista if they're the first you created...unless they do are 7 disks.

If you want Windows 7 you'll have no choice to follow the "Clean Install" Tutorial!

If you have the Recov Disks, then you can wipe the HD including the Recov partition, since everything will be restored to factory condition if you ever want to sell your computer but keep your Win7 upgrade for yourself.

Are there any questions about the steps given to wipe your HD and clean reinstall Win7 32 bit using your Upgrade DVD?

Now you know plenty to refer in case...


PS:
In the future you can have a look here, for a quick reference about Windows 7:

Sounds good

Yeh true. But do you agree with my friend that my computer still thinks it is 64 bit due to the 2 program files?

Yes i do agree, that some kind of mess is around your folders!

I do not even think a "Repair Install" will clean up all those unwanted folders.

I'm nearly off to Bed!

See you later!

[theog]

Do you have mate who could do it for you.

What you can do, the time you decide yourself, is to "Repair Install" your actual Windows 7 and later, if you feel ready to "Clean install", just come back here.

HERE for the Repair:

Repair install will only clean the windows folder.

Not really. He moved away and i only speak to him online now.

I know, but the OP is still deciding, so a quick clean to stable his machine, could do for a while.
