During the process you have the opportunity to do an upgrade installation, or a clean installation. If you do a clean installation you can also choose to keep your old windows OS (which is saved to a folder named Windows.OLD), or you can choose to completely reformat your hard drive by selecting "more options" (or something like that, going from memory).

So if you want a clean install, just boot up from the install DVD rather than running setup from within your current version of Windows.

Yes, but the way they say to do it on WinSuperSite will work even if there is NO prior install of XP or Vista. I duel-boot my Mac Pro and have 2 dedicated hard drives for each OS, Mac and Windows 7.

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Just the person I want to talk to. Can you recommend a GOOD step by step tutorial on installing Win7 to a MacBook Pro?  I tried and for some reason the serial number wouldn't take. Not sure if it's because I got an invalid serial number or what, but I refunded the download order and am now waiting for a boxed version to come with a new serial.

I'd LOVE to run Snow Leopard and Win 7 in 64-bit so I can upgrade my RAM from 4 to 8 GB.  Is there a "Windows 7 to Mac for dummies" page anywhere?
