Hi,
Thanks again for the links and information I will leave it till December then create a slipstream DVD and a Raymond install disk to be on the safe side.
I could never understand why OEM never came with a hard copy install disk.
I bought my Windows 7 disk from an authorized dealer which has 32bit and 64bit installs, my Windows 8 laptop came with nothing just the image file on the hard drive makes it cumbersome to install and if the hard drive fails well....
