And last of, here's a video showing you how to install and use Windows 7 on Virtual PC.


Thanks to Kamon62 from MyWii for the info, he doesn't know I borrowed it yet
I wouldn't mind being on a mailing list to receive a copy from someone also.
Yep all my spec info is in my profile. I do hope the motherboard drivers on Rat Rig work with W7.

they should work.
even if they dont work initially, most vista drivers are compatible with W7
I'm burning a 32bit version now
Can anyone please send me a copy? i cant afford the chunk out of my shared 12gb limit.

I can send you a copy if you answer this one question: "how much wood can woodchuck chuk?"
Using the formula: (W + I) * C where W = the constant of wood, which is well known to be 61, as agreed in many scientific circles. I = the variable in this equation, and stands for the word "if" from the original problem. As there are three circumstances, with 0 equaling the chance that the woodchuck cannot chuck wood, 1 being the theory that the woodchuck can chuck wood but chooses not to, and 2 standing for the probability that the woodchuck can and will chuck wood, we clearly must choose 2 for use in this equation. C = the constant of Chuck Norris, whose presence in any problem involving the word chuck must there, is well known to equal 1.1 of any known being, therefore the final part of this calculation is 1.1. As is clear, this appears to give the answer of (61 + 2) * 1.1 = (63) * 1.1 = 69.3. However, Chuck Norris' awesome roundhouse kick declares that all decimal points cannot be used in formulas such as this, and so it must be rounded to the final solution of 69 units of wood.
haha

it really depends on the size of the wood and how fast he can chuck it
unit is a standard measuremeant of any quantity.
so a unit of liquid is a millilitre, a unit of flour is a millimetre and a unit of wood is a mitremetre
So Guyver... Is it a good enough answer?

a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as he could if a woodchuck could chuck wood
Noobs the answer is Chuck Norris
I'll try to install W7 on Rat Rig this weekend and if the disk works I'll send it to you Slicer

FREEZONE FTW !
My copy of Win 7 works on Rat Rig but the mobo drivers done Off to Google!
Slicingman any chance you could pass that disk on to me? (when/if you get it) I will probably download it but if worse comes to worse it would be nice to avoid the downloads...
downloading now i might be able to send some copies out to ppl
How does the install process work never had to update an operating system before do you keep any settings? how about programs do they all need reinstalling?

If I install over vista will something happen to my files?
well i suggest u download this first partedmagic.com/ if u want to dual boot

then resize ur partition with room for W7

then just pop the disk in restart ur computer and follow the instructions making sure u install W7 on the unused space

I will prob copy the disc so i can send it out.

If i have money in my pocket when ive finished copying it i will forward it on, we should all do the same...
ive got shi*loads of dvd disks so i cud spare a few

taking orders now but will just send in a normal envelope if it fits

btw will windows vista drivers work on 7?
Some do. most don't
god dammit like none of my laptop stuff works on W7 no internet and not even my wireless usb dongle thingo works

with no internet W7 is no good

maybe thats why it has a sticker saying certified for Windows XP

but i can still send the disks out to ppl
You are a kind and generous person
