Anyway, perhaps time to move on.

Place the disc in the drive and then restart the machine.

Do you get to this screen?



If not, we fix the Boot order.

Don't start the install yet.

yes i had a black screen that said boot from CD or DVD

Ok, so we can get started. In fact you can just follow the pictures in this guide. You don't even need to read the text.
There are 34 pictures in the guide and it is in 3 parts. After the first 15, scroll down to part 2 and so on.
There are just a few variations. First that of course you will set UK when it comes to keyboard and language, second that there may be three partitions when you get to the Advanced Drive Options stage. Just delete the top two as shown and leave the third and lastly, skip the part about entering a Product Key.

So start again and when you see the screen above again, hit any key and just follow the guide. It's quite simple.

I'll be here if you get stuck, just post from the iPhone. But it is straightforward.

You need Drivers. What is the full model number shown underneath the laptop?

Will put together Activation instructions and send them via PM.

Just realised that model came with Windows 7 Professional SP1-U ISO (Refresh) 32 bit

If you can be bothered, you can make a new disc and install in the same way.
You now know it is simple and doesn't take much time.
The differences are shown here.

Thanks, which edition did I install then? The only thingies I have noticed so far s that it hasn't got net intelligence which I don't want anyway. Oh and Microsoft office but I have wrote the key number down for that.

Professional has more function.

We'll install any missing Drivers and Microsoft Office once you've finalised your choice of Operating System.

Oh ok, so have you a link for me to do a copy of correct windows? Once updates are installed then I will do it again
