Is the machine with the DVD burner with XP, Vista or Windows 7?

Hi Nifty. The machine with the DVD burner is XP, slow, and only connected by WiFi. Or I could use one of the "new" Win 7 laptops connected by ethernet, which will be quicker (we have slow BB here). I do also have another legit Win 7 (Pro, 32 bit) laptop if necessary.

Let me know which is best, but expect a delay whatever.

You can use the one with the faster connection and then move it over to the one with the DVD burner using your USB drive.

Get the RAM in post #32, not the earlier link.

Just putting together image burning instructions.

Righto. Will let you know when done.

When the download is complete, burn the resulting .iso file(image) to a DVD using ImgBurn(Download and install. Deselect the option to install the Google ToolBar). You have to Burn Image to Disc, not burn Data disc. Use this as a guide(skip step 2b)

Burn two copies, so that you can run a clean install from Boot on both machines at the same time.

The downloading of the image is the longest part of the job.

Quite so. Looks like being 4.5 hours, so an overnight job. Will do other tasks and get back to you. I am tied up all day tomorrow but will have some time Saturday, so will be in touch then, Many thanks indeed.

Not a problem.

Unless you have a printed product key either on the machine or on the sleeve of an actual WIN 7 disc it is not genuine. Did you buy it from a reputable store if so you should ask for a refund as they are selling potentially illegal software etc.
