    Windows 7 Upgrading from WinXP

    I would be curious to get some reactions to those who have upgraded a WinXp system to Windows 7. I have installed the beta on a separate paration but when the final is released I would like to upgrade my existing winXP system. Just wanted to know how this would work out. Thanks.

    Windows 7 Corrupt disk - run chkdsk

    I'm having the same problem and I have also created the new partition with Acronis. How does one do this with "the installer" ? Or should I just use Winxp explorer to format this new partition? Thanks.
