Hope this helps, and have a great day

Hey, thanks for the replies.
If it were mine I woulda been replaced the dvd drive, but my dad would rather replace the whole laptop . He made the mistake of letting the little kiddies get it . Its about 4 years old, so it has alot of potential. I thought I'd let him give windows 7 a try, to show what all the hype was about. I think he'll just pass it on to me when he gets a new one. I know I'll have to replace a few parts to get back up to par.
I actually did an upgrade over the network. so it has windows 7 running on it now, but for future references ill keep those links in mind.
I would however like to learn how to use a pxe server to do clean installs of OS's. Any help in this area is also greatly appreciated. Thanks

I got the Windows 7 student discount, and ordered it through a site called digital river. $30 for the pro 64b version. Though when I downloaded it, instead of an ISO, it was an exe. Now I am having to jump through a bunch of hoops to convert it to an ISO. Fun stuff.

If you bought a computer in the last 4 months, you're pretty much eligible for the free upgrade. I thought you would just download it, but they ship it to you for free. Which, I would prefer to have the installation disc anyway.
I love converting stuff to isos. I dont think theres any good free iso converting programs out there. You might have to purchase one.

I used oscdimg to create the iso. It was a cmd line tool that was actually pretty painless. byte - you just need someone with a .edu address.
Here is the site: http://www.win741.com/
here are the instructions for creating the ISO: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...e-a13fe03f0632
