    I've been a Mac user since the 90's. A co-worker gave me an old PC with a completely wiped hard drive. I've been trying to install a copy of Windows 7 for the past 48 hours and hit just about every roadblock that can come along with doing this. Your video and instructions have finally got me to the installation section with a 25% completion bar. I'm stoked. Thank YOU!!
