Has anyone reinstalled Windows?
I have got a Windows 7 x86_64 Disk. What (Kaboobly Doo) information do I need to know?

I have done XP dozens of times. Is it different?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

Is BSD easier to install nowadays?

I have not looked at BSD since 1999 or so.

I did not like it back then and chances are it is still bad today.

Sounds like you should leave BSD alone. Can you swim?

Re: Has anyone reinstalled Windows?
I tried the autodetect utility. It said that bla-bla-bla is required for this system. I downloaded that (with the utility) and tried running it, it said my system does not support this.
I tried installing Catalyst by downloading the setup itself. It is either failing or appearing to have succeeded but not giving the required switchable graphics functionality.
I tried the HP Support Assistant. It downloads some Kaboobly Doo and fails installing it.

Re: Has anyone reinstalled Windows?
I have two cards - Intel HD and AMD Radeon. AMD Radeon is better but I do not know what it is good for since it generates too much of heat for any gaming.
The Catalyst Control Centre enables me to select one of the GPUs at a time.

I did not know that catalyst would control another GPU.

Re: Has anyone reinstalled Windows?
I uninstalled AMD's drivers and installed the driver for the intel chip. The problem is temporary resolved. But I cannot use the AMD GPU now.

The Radeon card? But since that overheated anyway why do you care?
