    got win 7 upgrade disc few days ago. but the upgrade process is not smooth.
    my note book is a z46 and the harddisk is partitioned into two portion, one 50G for system and rest for data.
    just want to try the upgrade disc, so i follow the procedure in the manual, excep step 1 and 2, i do not do data export and recovery, but the system failed three times in step 4win 7upgrade process (last step, file tranfer).
    Note sure why, or the formal procedure only support one big HD?
    any one can advise?
