ok so windows 7 installed but due to my system being to new the drivers did not install correctly so i hoped on a old laptop and used a cd-r (yes i know who uses them anymore) because the DVD drive worked so i installed a Ethernet driver to get it up and running and finally windows 7 is finally tamed. now the only question is when will it start attacking. because almost always during a os install or vmware install my PC throws a fit because its using a crappy graphics card. at least it runs fast because of my 8gb of ram and my i5 Intel core possessor.
