If you can reformat and reinstall from scratch, that would be best, upgrades are iffy at best and more often than not, run into some sort of problem, plus you don't clean up all the garbage that's collected in the registry from your old OS when you just upgrade. If you need the files on the disk, an OPTION would be to pull the drive and install it as an additional disk in a friends PC using an external USB housing, copy the important files off, then reinstall it in your PC and start FRESH by formatting and doing a clean new windows 7 install.

my CD ROM dose not work! So cant reinstall vista with the disk's.
