Lets preface this with: Yes I have legal XP and Vita installs.
My issue is I currently have very little spare storage to make a image of these installs and would like to keep the HDD's untouched and in storage for a while as backup.
I have one spare new hard drive and want to install my Win7 upgrade without having to sit through a half hour XP or Vista install just to turn around and erase it with the 7 upgrade. Is there a cut down mini image floating around that I could slap on real quick and then upgrade with?
In short how do I install 7 upgrade to a clean drive without wasting hours of my life ghosting between drives? I could ghost my vista install over to my new drive but it's a lot of data and seems kind of silly and redundant since I will be erasing it in the "upgrade" process.
