Hi guys
ive just spent the day upgrading my HTPC with a new SSD and blu ray disc and in doing so installed windows 7 to take full advantage of the SSD
while doing this i took down a few notes on how i got things working mainly taken from all over the forums and my own knowledge etc so though id share them with everyone to hoepfully save others some time
am slowly working on a new install guide for windows 7 and Mediaportal 1.1.0 so its a work in progress and of course is based on my personal setups and preferences i by no means proclaim to know it all but thought id share what ive learnt over the years of using mediaportal
Installation Manual
Updated as of 05/09/2009
when i installed the RTM version of Windows 7 i have reverted to the 32bit version though, no real reason i wasn't having any issues with the 64bit RC1 however with only 2GB of memory there really was no need for it, so by sticking with the 32bit for my setup hopefully i wont come across any issues either.
On a positive note: i have found the the RTM version of windows 7 is actually noticeably faster than the RC1 so far its been just as easy as my old XP setup. i am waiting on new TV cards though so at this stage havnt tested the TV server
Cheers
