firstly thanks to AsAnAtheist for his post on these forums with http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/1392-63-windows-upgrade-bootable-guide-having-issues post.
until i tried booting from the disc i had burnt..
i get
CD boot: cannot from cd - code 5
NTLDR is missing.
from further reading i read that Wind 7 does not support certain chipsets so it does not recognise it as a bootable media.
can anyone confirm this?
if this is the case then im in the brown stuff.
i have the student discounted download version of win 7 64bit and currently have win xp home 32bit
so i cant run the upgrade in windows as i get the " this is not a valid win32 application"
any one else have the same issue or found an answer to this problem?
i have spent the last 2 days scouring the net and have over 20 browser tabs of various info non of which pin points my problem.
