Windows 7 Student Upgrade

Ah now that would explain it! Why couldn't you just download an ISO directly? But then again I shouldn't be surprised, Microsoft don't generally tend to make these things easy.

Thanks zak!

Reps?

lol

Shouldn't go asking for reps

I've got this, bought the Professional version as opposed to the home edition (My Uni uses a Virtual Network so I can access my files from home) and I have to say I had no hassle with it - apart from not being able to create a bootable disk XD although i'm certain this was my silly mistake rather than anything else. I can't complain for £30 really, and Windows 7 looks amazing. Well worth it I think.

Use vlite and its eaaasy.

Would it be worth me knocking up a little guide?

Most certainly XD Although it matters not to me at this point - i just installed it to my secondary hard drive. Although I am now having issues formatting my original c drive =/

Reps?

Done.

I tend to forget about the rep system here lol, it seems many don't use it.

*Note to self*

Stop trying to do these things from within a Linux distro lol.

Worked out fine, typing from it now.

Used the trick to clean install the upgrade here, with workaround 3:
