    Hey all,
    So I got squared away with Daemon tools, opened up the ISO, and began my Windows 7 install. Soon enough, window pops up saying I need my HD to be formated to NTFS in order for the install to work. I said okay, and went to reformat my drive. My AAO has the 8GB SSD, and when I tried reformatting, it says "windows cannot complete the format". I have no other partitions other than my primary. I need to get off FAT32 in order for 7 to work.. what can I do?

    Are you installing within Windows XP? You cannot reformat if you are trying to upgrade XP to Windows 7. Extract the ISO to a USB stick or burn the ISO to a DVD-R, boot from USB using your stick or DVD/ROM drive and run the setup.... easy. ;)
