  1. Completely new here...happy to have found such a great forum. A friend has given me an Averatec 3200 (I know, I know...) with Puppy Linux 528 installed only, no dual boot. The laptop actually runs great. However, after multiple tries to understand, work with, and use linux, I just want to go with what I know (Windows) and do a clean install of Windows 7, with at least a dual boot with linux ( if not possible to do just Windows 7). I am also wanting to install Windows so my kids can use it with ease for school, and their educational online games (tried installing flash for linux numerous times with no luck). This computer and understanding linux and operating systems in general have become a minor hobby for this mom . This is what I've done so far... DVD driver to the Averatec doesn't work, so I have downloaded Windows 7 onto a USB drive, using Burn Aware to create .iso files. At bootup of Averatec, I chose the USB drive to run system, but this doesn't run it and it goes to black screen with flashing cursor. I thought I created a partition for Windows 7 to run, and it shows the correct size of the file, but clicking the icons don't open anything. I read that basically to do a clean install, all linux code needs to be removed, except the boot part (grub?) to get the computer to boot. I am VERY NEW to linux as one can tell here...but I can navigate it relatively well, just need some guidance. Some research has mentioned that it is harder to remove Linux and go to Windows, than the other way around...if I have to go with dual boot, that is fine, but was hoping not to for ease of use for the kiddos. Thanks in advance :)
