May I ask why you feel the system will not except the installation of Windows?

I see no reason why you would have troubles?

Another quick question is why you are not installing the 64-Bit?
The 64-Bit Windows 7 install will see all of your 6GB memory where the 32-Bit will only use 4GB or less.

With the hardware you have it would make no sense at all to use a 32 bit version of Windows 7.

Do as c_c said and install the 64 bit. You did get two discs with your Windows 7 purchase, right?

Thanks for the help c_c and nibiru . To answre your question nibiru, the win 7 is an oem disc. Your advice makes sense I will use a 64 bit instead.

The Windows 7 x64 system also uses your RAM much more effectively that the 32 bit.

Perhaps you can return the 32 bit disc and swap it out for the 64 bit. IF not there is another solution.

Do you have a DVD burner? Are you able to download large files such as a 3.0 GB ISO image?
