Well, finally got my legit Win7 final 64 bit ultimate DVD.

Unfortunately.. Heard horrid things about triple booting XP, Vista , 7 on the same drive and don't have an extra drive to put 7 on.

 

Guess I'll just have to put off doing 7 skins and updating my old ones till next year sometime.

 

..it's really a shame because I was so looking forward to adding to my workload.

 

sigh...

I've never had problems triple booting. If you have the room and already have XP and Vista installed, just create a new partition on the drive and install Win 7 on it. It will add itself to the boot menu so you can choose which one you want to use.

Not saying I'm an expert but it worked fine for me. :)

Probably will do at least three of those, Odyssey really wasnt designed with vista in mind, or 7 and sexy is raaaather old.

John, did you order retail?

Boot from USB via external HD - but you will have to know how to get that going...

It can be done!

Or just head over to a pc guy local and see what kind of deal you can get for used small ide drive internal!?

You may be surprised!

Be a little late but I got a guick trip to Sarasota coming up for some new programs we are using. But will not have the time to do anything during that trip... so no go at stopping over to do a quick fix em up there John. But I would if I could...!

Hum I may have a small HD IDE here you can have cod shipping if you are interested.

:beer: B) :beer:

I was able to just delete the Win 7 partition and XP/Vista worked fine, still is for that matter.  Hell, you can pick up an 80 gb drive cheap these days anyway...Use some of the tons of money yer making on these skins mate.*
