Hi, I'm trying to install the Windows 7 beta on a second SATA drive I have (the first one contains a WinXP installation), in a dual boot configuration. Again though. Stuck on expanding files. The exact copy of Win 7 I had installed on there still existed I had no idea. Yeah got a license for Win 7 but that's no worries I'll just use that to install in Bootcamp on my Macbook.

I’ve an old MacBook White 2,1 (mid 2007), with 4 GB RAM. I had high expectations about the, because I need a new Computer. I was expecting a new MacBook Air, but instead. So I decided to wait even longer to change my computer. My MacBook is stuck at Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, and even iTunes don’t recognizes my iPhone anymore. My SuperDrive is broken for years.
