that didn’t seem too hard in my opinion…but i still wouldn’t do it lol

here’s a little question though…

why go through all that when you can just buy a new computer and transfer the files from the old one to the new? it’ll make it 10 times easier lol but hey that’s just me! excellent video though.

the best way to do dis is to make partitions on your computer,resize your C drive and make new partitions and backup your files there..or if you dont want to create new partition..there is also another way without having to get an external hard disk..in win 7 install,when it asks wich partition to install to,Choose C,or the drive where xp is installed,after installation,go to C/the drive where u install win7,u will find all ur files in a folder called windows.old
HAVE FUN WITH WINDOWS 7

Oh that’s a big problem…Search it on youtube or ask in a forum how to get the installation disk for it by downloading..You need that,it installs the driver for your printer.

Just compress your files in the winrar.upload it on mediafire,rapidshare,megavideo etc.after installing win7,you can download your original files from those sites.

Or you could do what I did on my work laptop. I upgraded from xp to vista, then from vista to 7. Was pretty nice cause I didn’t have to reinstall any software and the upgrade did all the work for me.

I am currently running WinXP Professional and have encountered the BSoD twice withing the past 2 weeks. I have been running XP in safe mode the entire time and cannot connect to the net from my own PC since the BSoD. I want to switch to Win7 because I’m tired of XP and Vista isn’t pleasing to use, so my question is: do I need to reformat my hard drive (if so please tell me how) or can I simply insert the disk while running XP in safe mode?

i dont think so
it will remove the files on the partition of the hard drive u pick to install 7 on
it copies over all ur files anway and puts it in a folder called windows.old
