I have two WD External Hard Drives and I can't copy some things to them. I don't think it's my hard drive because I can copy 70 GB of pictures with no problem but when I try and copy about 40 GB of DVD programs I get an error message. I have an attachment.

1. Is there a difference between a clean and custom installation? When considering a OS change from Vista 32 to Win 7/64 bit, which process should I be using? Or are the words clean/custom install more or less semantics and mean the same thing? 2. I have been looking at purchasing Win 7 Pro...

While attempting to set up for dual-booting with Linux, I used a free program that apparently messed up my Win7 MBR or structure of my sectors. I panicked because I couldn't see anything on the disk after that. I concluded in despair that everything was lost so I got a Win7 disk from a friend...
