How do I back out of a failed Win7 install attempt? I started a Win7 installation on an XP system and some files were installed on my c:\ drive that force me to chose between proceeding with the Win7 install or using XP. Because of the error messages that the Win7 install generates, I'd like...

I have run the Windows 7 Compatibility Upgrade Advisor on my Vaio VGN-FZ190. I am getting that two drivers are not compatible with Windows 7:

Is it true that windows 7 upgrade advisor approves a device, if it has a windows vista compatible driver?
I post this here, because many compatibility problems end up here.

I'm attempting to upgrade from 32-bit Vista Home Premium to Windows 7. I used the 32-bit disk to avoid having to do a full clean install, but every time (4 tries so far) that I've done it, it will get to the last portion of the upgrade where it transfers over all the old documents and programs...

Hey everyone,
I'm at my wits end with this. I've never had any issues installing an operating system in the past and I'm rather embarrassed it's happened to me with what should be such a simple installation. I have partitioned a 260 gig hard drive. I have windows xp up and running on the first...
