I’m have an Acer Timeline 3810 which does not have an optical drive. I am eligible to receive a free Windows 7 upgrade disk when it is released, but since there is no optical drive, how am I supposed to install it?

From the Windows 7 Upgrade FAQ page:
“If you do not have a compatible DVD drive available, we suggest you rent, borrow, or buy one if you want to do the installation yourself. Alternatively, you can take your PC and DVD to a service provider that has a DVD drive available that can be used to do the upgrade. Applicable charges may apply.”

I’ve tried importing the Music folder (on vista) but it leaves about a third of my songs out compared to what’s on media player. I think I only burned some of my CD’s straight onto Windows Media Player, so they didn’t get registered in my Music folder and are not being picked up by iTunes.
Anyone know how I can recover the music? Or how to transfer to iTunes straight from Windows Media Player?
Follow these steps:
1. Find where Windows Media Player stores your ripped music.
2. Add that folder into iTunes.
Detailed instructions:
1. In WMP, do this:
a) Open the Options window. You can do this by clicking on the little down arrow below “Rip” button and selecting “More Options…”
b) Go to the “Rip Music” tab, if you’re not already there.
c) Take note of the folder displayed in the “Rip music to this location” section.
d) That folder should contain your music. Go there to check.
2. In iTunes, do this:
a) File –> Add Folder to Library…
b) Navigate to the folder you found in step 1.
c) Push OK.
d) For WMA files, iTunes will tell you via a message box that one or more items are in the WMA format and that it will automatically convert them to your preferred format, i.e. AAC or MP3 – depends on your preferences (Edit–>Preferences–>General–>Import Settings button).
iTunes should now have your files available, including all that it has converted. For any non-Windows formats, check the Advanced tab in your preferences to see whether “Copy files to iTunes…” option was ticked, as this will have duplicated files on your disk.
