SOLVED Help with clean install

[Kalario]

I do not need a lot of software other than MS Office and Adobe plus the usual small stuff, I do not use this laptop for gaming, it's just for browsing, email and some excel and word stuff. I created a 25.6GB partition, let's see what happens.

Just depends on how much software you want to install.

Thats true

Personally for a 80GB drive, I don't think I would use partitions.

Sounds Good! If you have only 1GB of RAM you may want to increase it like I said in an earlier post.

it is going through the expansion now, will keep you updated. I have 4GB of RAM.

That's great, are you installing x64 OS?

Go here to install the Intel INF drivers they should one of the first ones you install.

Man, you ARE having issues with this install. I feel for you... I never the problems you're having.

It might be worth while running the memory test when you boot to the install DVD.

 

[Kalario]

[Kalario]

As the Cherokee Indian Chief said in the movie THE OUTLAW JOSIE WALES:
"Endeavor To Persevere!".

You certainly endeavored to persevere on this install. Glad you got there!

Everything working okay now? Windows updates working okay? Keep us posted!

Windows updated, Avast installed, MS Office installed, Photoshop installed, Adobe Acrobat v6.0 is not compatible with win7 (but that's ok, I will have to find a free pdf maker) Now going to find the driver for my printer that support Win7 x64 !!!!

Now I can give my wife her Christmas present !!!
