On the plus side...my sackboy now has bendable appendages so I can make him wave, or do the wave, and even stand up on his own!  :D  
Pictured below he is trying to figure out why he can't install an iPod harddrive into a pc.  Silly sackboy...


notice the bend in the arms...did that wiht some cleverly inserted paperclips :P  Put one big long around going in one foot, through the inside of the butt and into the other and left the excess hang out the back so i can use it to prop him up :D  Ooh he's so happy look at that great big smile :)

Probably solved by now but:

Why would you want to upgrade from Vista (clean install) to Win7? If u have installed Vista, then installing 7 on the same drive(Clean install) shouldn't have a problem...

Regarding the missing files thing, it means ur copy of Win 7 is bad... I wasted 7 dvds and numerous USB drive attempts before accepting that the ISO may have been bad... Pain as I had already formatted the drive. So it was back to installing vista, thenre-downloading 7 and then reinstalling 7...
