OK Here I am just an hour later
I did not have large enough USB to copy the Win7 64 but did consider suggested issues with disk image and afer giving the disk a nice cleaning, started again and .... BINGO... it installed...
Now I am in a different shape... Some of my software is not running on the Win7 and I am windering would it be possible to have XP installed as well. I have already created a new partition but do not know where to find andhow to install XP drivers for my system.
I have SATA3 drive and assume I should somehow insert the srivers for it when installing the XP.
Any suggestions where to get the driver for WD1002FAEX and how to install it. THX.
