Yep, you've got to boot from the dvd to install. Choose custom and when it asks you what partition to install it on click drive options. It lets you delete/format/create partitions in there.

Buggered if I can remember it off the top of my head, though. All I have to do to enable Aero after install is right click desktop -> Personalize and then choose one of the themes in the section "Aero Themes", after installing drivers for my video card that is. When it installs it defaults to "Windows 7 Basic" which is in the "Basic and High Contrast Section" of the Themes.

I'm having an issue with my task manager. Yesterday I reinstalled Win7 hopefully for the last time since I finally got my key, installed drivers, programs and it was only after I'd been using it for a while that I went to open the task manager. It opens fine, but whenever I hit "Show processes from all users" or "Resource Monitor" a UAC prompt comes up as expected, hit OK and then a cmd prompt flashes and it and the task manager window just close. Has anyone else experienced this and is there anything to do about it? Another question for everyone: when you hit the "Show processes from all users" in the task manager is the UAC prompt from the Windows Command Processor? Probably a dumb question but I just want to check. Edit: Turns out it had something to do with adding the Take Ownership keys to the registry. Restored the registry and now the task manager seems to be working fine again. Weird. It also now never pops up UAC prompts. rhuagh fucked around with this message at 10:27 on Aug 18, 2009 |

Had to figure this one out for my HTPC, I'd walk past the coffee table and TV would turn on. But if that's not it, I don't know.
