Fresh install from a virtual drive?

[paintguy]

Possibly a dumb question, but you never know...

My few week old Samsung DVD has decided to pack up already, so I can't burn the ISO of Windows 7 RC1 to do a fresh install. I upgraded from 7057 to 7068 using a virtual clone drive (of the sheep variety), but is it likely to work this time?

The clone drive is within my XP install, Win 7 will be overwriting the 7068 install on the other partition on the same volume.

Or should I just risk an upgrade?

Thanks

I don't see why it wouldnt work. Alternatively install from a USB stick - saves wasting all those DVDs

I'm a bit behind the times with USB sticks - my biggest is 2GB, my other is only 256 MB :lol:
