Regardless of partition type, the partition table will tell you that there's a partition there, so they don't just 'see it as free space' like you say. You fucked up. Stop blaming it on Microsoft. Having upgraded from Vista to Win7 on a laptop that dual boots Ubuntu/Windows, I know there is definitely a point when you are selecting the partition to install on that you have to make sure to tell it to not touch other partitions. For most users, getting rid of those other partitions is the proper move. For users like you that are dual booting, you should know to check that sort of thing. On top of that, you're ranting about it not wanting to install because you broke the license agreement. Uh, what? I did check. all drives showed on partition menu. I specifically resized one drive to install windows 7 using gparted, I CLICKED ON THAT DRIVE and the FREE SPACE on that drive. Windows proceeds then chimed about needing to install something then that is it. NO WHERE did it tell me where it was going to install this hidden gayness to, in my case it installed on another hard drive formatted to ext3 which it see as free space for some reason. Think, why should a piece of software touch another hard drive when A) I did not tell it to. B) Not installing it on the default partition that I've assigned. I might missed a step but there is no way in hell that I would miss clicking okay to install on a different drive. I'm not even raging about the license agreement anymore. It just erks me that I have to pay again for the same thing. If you don't find this ridiculous then great. | ||

Had a lot of problems with that a couple of years ago but now I know that it's always MS install -> Linux install. Never the other way around. Did you figure out how to restore grub? It should be doable, there are like millions of guides on google but I'm suspecting the fact that System Reserved is on a different drive is screwing up grub. | ||

Actually i believe CompUSA sells XP cheaper than Windows 7. At least mine does | ||

I used ubuntu for a good year or 2 until the windows 7 beta started. Now that my beta has expired I've gone back to ubuntu for the time being. And either windows 7 was faster and more efficient then I realised, or ubuntu has severely gone down hill since I last used it. It feels so damn sluggish. Firefox is constantly slowing to a crawl. These are problems I never had before. Oh well, I'll be getting a new computer soon with windows 7 ready for starcraft 2. | ||

I think its gets the blue screen of death if you do. One of my friends dual boots XP/7 XP is only for scbw. gl with your shit lies. you just need to run a batch file that quits explorer when you start up and restarts it when you quit. That to fix the colors...as for the bsod thats total bs. | ||

Despite having the drive as primary slave, it detects my samsung 1TB as the first and on top of that it some how do not recognize ext3 partitioning table so there you go. After that, restoring grub was ez.. So the lesson learned here is that, Do not plug in any other drive except the one where you want to install on when doing any sort of install. | ||
