yeah man no problem, gl with the clean install. If you run into any problems, get onto another computer and let us know

[samuelkwest]

Well, it turned out that I had something else I could have worried myself about. When I pulled out my Windows 7 disk, it turned out that it was the 'Upgrade from Vista' Windows 7.

but... to make a long story short, it installed without a hitch. I entered the validation code from the bottom of my laptop, and, apparently, the MS Police haven't so much as raised an eyebrow.

So, all done; with a clean copy of Windows 7 on my G73JW.

nice man glad it worked out. What did you do about your drivers? Did you manually install all of your drivers? Or I did asus give a driver cd? I can't remember if I got one when I had the g73.

[samuelkwest]

Yes, the driver CD came with the laptop, and I followed the guidance in Complete Walk-through For Doing A Clean Windows 7 Install for procedure and recommendations.

Cheers.

So when I extract oscdimg.zip folder from the rapidshare it extracts as "oscdimg" instead of "oscdimg.exe" What am I doing wrong?

Is it possible to install a 64 bit windows 7 professional with the key they sent me, and 32 bit windows 7 with the key that's under my laptop? The key that's under my laptop is for Windows Vista Home Edition (32bit).

So if I understood this right.
The key doesn't care if its x86 or x64. But it does care the upgrade path.
Starter -> Home Basic -> Home Premium -> Professional -> Ultimate.

I'm not sure if Starter and Home Basic contain the Anytime Upgrade.

Anyways..
You are upgrading a Home Premium x86 to Professional x64??
It would not allow you as it would pretty much do a clean install.

"They" being... ?
But basically, if it's a valid Windows 7 Professional product key, then I don't see why not.

and 32 bit windows 7 with the key that's under my laptop? The key that's under my laptop is for Windows Vista Home Edition (32bit).

You cannot install Windows 7 with a Windows Vista product key.

Ok. I have Win 7 (64bit) and just installed Vista (32bit). Some games don't work under 64 bit.
