Thanks for the reply, I found the prob, Now windows 7 went on with ease, about 10 min's after I put it on it came up with not a genuine copy, I have not got any Internet connected to this PC yet so was wondering if this is because I have not authenticated windows yet, I got the copy of 7 ultimate from a well known high street seller, they said it would be ok after I go on the Microsoft site to authenticate the copy, are they right.
