Thanks man, you saved me a lot of trouble

btw did you create a bootable DVD or flash drive? I made a DVD first, but for some reason it didn't boot, so now I'm making a bootable flash drive....
I heard that flash drives Install quicker

Guys, anyone dual boot OS?

simplest way to dual boot may be by making separate partition for windows 7.

That is what I have done but I have heard on erodov that when I will use the 699 offer my current OEM serial key for win 7 will get disabled.

I notice there is no start button. Is there any alternative for start button in wondows 8?

 

[abhishek66]

you can press the window key whenever you require the start menu. It faster than taking the mouse to the start button and then clicking it.
