Windows Backup doesn't detect my existing VHD file on the local hard drive I used Windows Backup to create a backup of my C: partition. Foolishly, I put it on drive D. Later, I realized that I shouldn't store it on the same physical disk with the C: partition, so I moved it to partition F: Last...

not the disc Thanks for the reply. The DVD is a manufactured one, Chip Hungary magazine's June edition attached one. Since then, however, I tried to install Windows 7 RC x64. I downloaded the image file, burnt it with IMGBurn. The verification completed successfully. I tried installing it, the...
