However, when you purchase Microsoft Windows 7 from Store, you have the option of using Download Manager or downloading from When you choose to download most software from the Microsoft All I have installed since reinstalling Vista are Adobe reader and Windows Security Essentials. I also tried to do this with my security software turned off. I didn't think I was supposed to make a new partition. Am I supposed to do something here? There was also message that popped up regarding making a new partition and restarting Windows. Where are the required files? On my system? On the disk? Is this disk possibly corrupt?

He said that with a clean install of Vista there should be no problem upgrading to Windows 7 and then reinstalling all my other software. The result was that I had to backup all my data and then reinstall my original Vista. I had to have a tech come to my house to get this fixed. In the meantime another problem occured due to malware and registry errors. I put this problem aside for awhile planning to contact Dell to get help to get Windows 7 installed. I also ran the upgrade advisor which said I was good to go. The advice given did not work.disable security, disconnect devices, do a "chkdsk", and then do "msconfig" to disable startup programs and all services except Microsoft.
