Hi, Wmp 12 has been scanning for media library for about 4 hours now and seems to be slowing everything else down. I have a large library (about 250gb but should it take this long?

I understand how to change the boot order. The drive isn't listed as an option. All i want to know is if there is a setting where i can enable the drive to be recognised from the boot menu?

I actually want to install FROM my external DVD drive onto an internal hard drive. The problem is that the DVD isn't recognised at the boot stage. Can i change the boot settings so that it is?

The drive isn't recognised when i try to boot. Was hoping there was a way i could change a setting somewhere to enable it to be recognised before anything else, if you know what i mean?

I only have an external firewire dvd drive and wondered if there's a way i can install Windows 7 from it. I don't want to overwrite my current XP installation and lose my programs and settings, so would like to install it onto a sepatate hard drive. Does anyone know if this is possible please?

Oh, that's a big bummer. Thanks for your prompt reply.

Am going to upgrade from Windows XP tonight. Will i have to reinstall all my current programs or will they stay intact?
