Hey everyone, just joined the forums as I just tried to install Windows 7. I used the word "tried" because I did not succeed in doing so...
Background
I was using Windows XP SP3 on a very old computer when I decided to try out Windows 7, just for fun.

I have Win 7 installed in a dual boot configuration with XP. How do I change the name of the XP installation, which Win 7 has called "Earlier Version Of Windows", to what it actually is?
Thanks.
So I have formatted and re-formatted my computer a couple different times with vista and xp. I got the dual boot thing working at one point but decided finding the drivers for xp was more trouble then it was worth.
Now my problem is I have 4 different boot options Vista, Vista, XP and Recovery...
Now, Im guessing you've all heard of these questions and theres probably threads on this, But I am in need of dire help. We all know Vista is flawed and more around its graphical designer rather then its functionality and I've encounterd problems such as:
