do i have to change anything, i have managed to get 7 home premium working without doing anything to do with raid, will it work?

also after doing a custom install i have all my old files in windows.old
should i move the files i want into my new directory and delete the rest or what?

I am confused. Was this on your home computer that has 2x120G? You said you haven't installed Win7 there yet

also after doing a custom install i have all my old files in windows.old. should i move the files i want into my new directory and delete the rest or what?

Yes, that is the purpose of Windows.old. It basically contains a copy of your previous settings and files, you can move them and then delete it. Here is how.

Microsoft error page:

You receive a "0x800A01AE" error message or a "0x080070570" error message when you try to connect to the Windows Update Web page or to the Microsoft Update Web page in Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP

That may be true but it is also the most common error on Windows 7 installs. If you search google for 0x80070570 half the first page is either Windows 7 or vista install problems with this error. And it's related to accessing the disk not anything external.

hi guys
i have downloaded windows 10 on my laptop without any problems and very quickly. i have tried 4 times to install 10 on my desktop, but the installation stopped firstly at 72% and now it appears to be stuck at 87%...i have removed every peripheral usb and removed all tune up software...both pcs were running widows 8.1...

.i usually save all important data to a usb storage, and all my storage devices have been removed from my pc, and i thought if i removed all devices which may cause install problems, that would do the trick, but no joy friends..i will give it another hour tyhen i will revert back to windows 8.1
hope the above may help others
cheers jim
