I just completed the installation of Win 7 Pro over Win XP on a Samsung F210 and it works! I did something different though which might help others...I bought an external DvD read/write and made a disk for GParted. I also needed this as I had original XP and Win 7 disks. One thing I had trouble with was getting the XP to install and I think I booted into safe mode somewhere along the line. I'm not saying this is easy but you just need to keep trying oh I rememmber what kept happening was when computer restarted it went past the bios screen in an instant and I couldnt 'catch it'. Eventually did. his still seems to be an issue...I have to tap a key to get the boot partition screen to stop otherwise it flashes past and reboots. his might be something to do with the keyboard? or a BIOS setting? I dont know...I just hit a key while the bios is starting and it stops at the dual boot screen. Oh when I switch OS I have to go around the BIOS twice for some reason the dual boot screen wont stay put on the first pass. These are small irritations...I mainly use Win 7 but now can use all that software I bought that runs on XP only. By the way, I find the machine to be quite quick- I had a Dell Latitude 430 before and I dont see much difference in speed and of course the battery is brilliant-i charge up go out work for 6 hours and come home. ust hope the battery doesnt degrade too quickly (my Dell was down to 45 minutes on a charge). Anyhow, once again, thanks for this blog it really helped me and I hope some of my comments can help others. Many Many thanks for this article!
