Exclamation Windows 7 Questions

Ok I have already posted a similar topic but I saw this video

(I could not get the video link so you have to go to the side window and go to the windows 7 on mac)
for those who are to lazy to watch the full video my question is that do i have to have my os xsl install disc to do a full install
(I have the SL upgrade disc)

If I understand your question correctly....

The short answer is no. Your Snow Leopard DVD is a full install DVD and will do either a clean or upgrade installation. However, in the spirit of the EULA, if you purchased the $29.00 SL DVD, you are supposed to already have a license for Leopard.

Regards.

fade is an unknown at this point
If I'm reading you correctly, you want to know if you need the OSX SL disk to do a full install of W7...

You can use bootcamp and get windows installed, you only need the OSX disk for drivers. I dont know if the upgrade disk will work for that or not.

Andler:

You can use the Snow Leopard DVD to install drivers to an already running Windows installation. Just insert the DVD while Windows is up. Doesn't matter if it's XP, Vista, or even Win 7. Hope that answers your question.

Regards.
