compiled the following: After nearly 2 hours, Windows 7 setup can't continue windows will re start and restore you previous installation. The upgrade was not successful your previous version of windows is being restored Any ideas folks please?? Are all your drivers up to date? This includes the motherboard too. Apparently it can stop if it detects that it can't install the correct drivers. I have been trying to follow some of this in the MS answer forums using their beta NNTPbridge programme. This allows you to get the posts into your newsreader rather than using the web browser. -- Geordie Usenet, how to post info: http://www.dickgaughan.co.uk/usenet/...aq08-topp.html http://www.i-hate-computers.demon.co.uk/quote.html

Geordie has brought this to us :

OK be sure to back up all your data and confirm your backup is good just copying all your stuff to an external drive should do it... I would recommend against using any specific backup software
