you can buy an upgrade, depending on whether you use 32-bit or 64-bit.
I did an upgrade and it kept all of my files and settings from vista

Apparently if you do a custom install from XP, it'll put all your files in a folder called windows.old ... I backed up my music and shool stuff on my external though, just in case.

Can you upgrade from XP or Vista? I thought it was a Vista-only upgrade.

In any case, I can't get Windows on my computer because XP wont recognize my sata harddrives and I can't find a working Vista copy. Anybody have a Vista install disc they'd like to throw my way?

Tonight, I'm going to attempt to chemically strip the chrome from my control plate of my MM Stingray. If it works, I will then dye it black. If it all works well, I will move onto the knobs, the string tree, the tuner ears, and eventually **gulp** the bridge.

EBMM has been less than helpful in regards to obtaining some of their black hardware (which they do make...I even offered to send in my original Stingray hardware & pay for all new hardware to avoid potential copyright problems....and they just wouldn't have it).

I thought it was only from vista too, but you just have to do a custom install and you can upgrade directly from XP.

Without a floppy drive, Windows wont let me install XP, which is BS. I just need a vista cd.
