Hi guys,
I downloaded the 32 bit iso image and burnt to dvd.
I used new drive to do clean install of windows7.
It told me I could not do as this drive wasn't in correct format, but it was NTFS.
I sorted that by getting the install to format the drive and all went well. Windows 7 installed and works fine.
I then wanted to try an upgrade using a copy of my live xp system to see how it goes, without screwing up my real live system.
I used another spare drive and put two partitions on it, I had learnt this from the first install.
I loaded up XP all ok. I inserted the DVD and it asked me to "install now", which I did.
It then gave a display of storing tempory files.
Then it gave an error code 0x80070490 and will not go any further, so cannot install, which is a bummer. See the image.
Do you guys have any ideas how I get over this problem,?
Many thanks,
David
