Clean Install Windows 7

I might just end up deleting the stuff as your originally said, ill se if the other topic turns up anything more, thanks a lot for your help.

I still have not installed my copy, but in the booklet it came with said to back up what you need to an external hard drive. I don't think it'd be a problem, but is it okay to back up to an extra internal hard drive? I think it'd be fine, I just want to be sure that stuff won't get erased. Thanks in advance.

After movign the downloaded peices out of the windows.old folder and into the corresponding locations in windows 7, the instruction on the first page of "makign a boot cd from the student d/l" thread (using the syntax edits on the second page) allowed me to make a boot cd adn do a clean install, thanks for all the effort!

knew it was possible brink

Hello to everyone! I would like to make a question related to the HDD space needed from Windows Seven to run smoothly: I have 2 Disks a 320GB and a 80GB. I am running Windows XP in the 80GB for years now and had no problem but is it enough for the Windows Seven too, or I will have trouble?

All replies are welcome!!!

P.S Sorry If I went off-topic but i am a newbie here and this is my first post so... a little sympathy would be good!!!

Click on the tutorials. There a couple links showing what 7 needs to run. You should be fine putting it on the 320G drive. It took right around 30G on my bare 500G drive.

Greg,

I can confrm 100% that you can do a clean install with a upgrade Windows 7 version and activate without a problem. I went out this morning and got a copy to test and confirm it. :)

Settled.

Brink,
You're absolutely correct. I was away over the weekend and just completed the clean install tonight. Very painless.

Thanks!
Greg
