tennisball Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I'm going to be installing from an ISO since I lack a large flash drive and a DVD drive. I'm just wondering if by installing from my C drive with the ISO everything will be deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Where did you obtain the ISO from? - if it is not from Microsoft - but a cheap and dodgy third party download - you are heading for problems.If you did obtain from the official Microsoft download site....This may helpI am not aware that you can install the ISO from the same hard drive - I have installed Windows 7 onto netbooks using an external USB DVD drive. This might be the easiest way for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering if by installing from my C drive with the ISO everything will be deleted.A very novel idea,indeed!Radical,even.I suggest making a System Image for backup just in case....Let us know how it goes. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a pirated copy of Win 7 since I'm a student and money is hard to come by :PThere was the option in the installation to copy Windows XP docs/etc and put it in a Windows.old folder. I just have to avoid one specific update and I'm good.Edit: One more thing. Right after installation Windows was kinda "buggy." I couldn't right click on the desktop and pretty slow in general. A restart fixed all of my problems though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
