XP to Win 7 Upgrade
When my copy of this upgrade gets to "Where do you want to Install Windows?" it does not offer the "Drive Options (Advanced)" option as shown in the video. The video suggest that selecting the "overlay" option is not the way to go.??????

Screen Size
Mine is upgradable but the problem is with the screen size. My computer is Sony Vaio 20'' and after upgrade I tried to adjust the screen resolution but it does not work. It just stick at 17'. In other words it does not full out the whole screen.
