    Hi timesurfer,

    Thanks for quick reply.

    It originally came with 320GB disk with win 7 installed.

    however I upgraded HDD to 500GB and dont have any restore disks. :(
    I have made ghost backup of win 7 in 320GB, but when I restore that image into 500GB new HDD it does not want to boot.

    Once your DigRiver download is done and you've burned your disc, boot with it. But, instead of installing, use the REPAIR option found on the left side of the install menu. Most likely your ghost backup messed up the boot settings. Has happened to me several times and the Repair option fixed the problem.

    Downloaded X15-65732.iso.

    however, after install had to phone to activate windows.

    All worked fine.

    Thanks for all your help.
