Windows 7 (7600 RTM) on MBA 1.6 Rev B install problem ?

[Thezine]

Hello Everyone,

During the installation of Windows 7 (7600), I got this error at 90% " Windows installation can not continue on this hardware " ?

Is anybody has this issue as well ?

Thanks for the help.

I installed it on my Rev C, no problems

My bad, it was the x64 version, I did't notice.

The windows (x32) installed without a hitch.

How is the overall performance ?

I got the 1,6 GHz Rev B and it got really hot and the performance is just ok so far, no benchmark yet.

Waiting for your answer ...

And? You can install the 64 bit version on a Macbook Air. It just eats up more of your partition. You probably had a bad burn. Helps to slow down the burn speed when burning an ISO to disc.

But it being 64 bit had nothing to do with it.

I have the x64 installed.

do you need a superdrive to install windows 7? Or can I install using the Remote Disk?

You should really run it in 64-bit. Just reburn and reinstall! I personally don't want to "waste" my MBA drive space with Windows. But, I may do it when I get my next MBA with 256 GB SSD and 4 GB RAM, dreaming... of the future.

Should I not even consider on my Rev. A based on your experiences? I really could use a nice version of windows, mainly for programming and I also enjoy being on the bleeding edge...just curious.
