[SOLVED] Transfer LL from laptop to desktop w/ win7 sp1 (side-by-side)

[tripple aught]

Thanks for your replies....

  In doing research on your suggestions, I came to the conclusion that 'KNOWLEDGE IS POWER BUT INFORMATION IS CONFUSING' !

  So I decided to put LL on the desktop (side by side with Win 7) by using the ' live LL install disk' and do all the set-up broo-ha-ha that I did on the laptop ONLY TO DISCOVER that for some reason this lenovo M58 desktop with pre-configured Win 7 SP1 will not show the Win 7 OS when I run the INSTALL program. I get a blank 'Install - Installation Type' screen.

    With the 'live' CD running GParted  I see                    /dev/sda
    /dev/sda1 -  System (boot & diag) 3.15GB of 3.75GB
    /dev/sda2 -  Windows  21.93GB of 70.78GB
      unallocated - none of 1.09MB

How can this be ? Why would GParted see the OS system live and not during the install ?

  Rob, I was trying to follow your paragraph 1 instructions (similar to install in the manual). 73s N5EDX

Do I start a new thread on this situation or can we stay here? There 'aught aught aught' to be a way to make

this work.

Thanks again for suggestions,
Lester
