    Hi... Downloaded W7 RC and burnt to DVD no probs. However not sure regards the actual install, any chance some kind sole would write me a step by step guide using a DVD Drive on to a AAO150 1GB 120GB (not sure when it comes to deleting partitions etc)

    PS Linux is currently installed, would like to replace this with W7

    Many thanks.

    just boot from the dvd drive via the boot menu f12... then on the win7 install just select to remove the existing partition, and format the drive to ntfs. It's pretty str8 forward, and I you should not have any problems at all. ;)

    On the chance that you will not have wifi after setup, use wired LAN to do a windows update. It will install the drivers for the wifi card. Good luck. :)
