Good. I would have suggested you uninstall it and clean the registry before the upgrade anyway. Roxio can be VERY particular....

I take you don't have the original installation CDs?

You may be able to find an OEM copy (Dell, HP, etc) as a torrent download.

I thought that a custom (clean) install was what created windows.old, if the old OS partition wasn't wiped (reformatted) first. I haven't done it myself - I always imaged the partition, and reformatted as part of the install.

It doesn't really matter whether windows.old is there or not. I doubt that the Roxio software is the sort that can run without having been installed (registry entries, files in special locations).

If you have a commerical PC (HP, Dell, etc.), the Roxio stuff was pre-installed, and you have no install media for it, it's effectively gone if you wish to stay with Win7.

Win7 supports CD and DVD burning to a greater extent than older versions of Windows, and there are freeware burner packages available. (I haven't used them.) Or, you could always buy the Roxio stuff again. (Make sure whatever you get is Win7 compatible, though.)

Any links to a good torrent download of Roxio?

With Windows 7, can you burn a MP3 CD, Data CD, etc?
Thanks!!

What kind of computer do you have? Google is your friend.

if you did a clean wipe and it's an OEM machine check their downloads and drivers pages, it's likely in there. HOWEVER you should know windows 7 handles burning a bit differently than previous versions and your software may not work. if you have problems with it and you probably will just look for a more up to date burning suite that supports windows 7.

I can understand the panic if you depend on a software suite that does all your media conversion and burning. I bought the Nero 6 Utlimate suite. After awhile though, I found that many things can be converted and burned better using free tools. Check out programs like CDBunerXP and Burrrn for audio burning, and Imgburn for DVD burning.

For conversions you can find free tools on
VideoHelp.com - Forum, Guides, Tools and hardware lists many of which actually work better than commercial packages(except perhaps some high-end authoring and video creation editing suites.)

For converting one video format to another and burning see that site and also
Digital Video Forums - Everybody's Talkin'

You may find after a bit that "all in one" suites actually get in the way of what you want to do more often than not.. esp. after you gain a bit of experience with other software.
