(shrug) Sorry it didn't work out for you, but unless I'm really missing something obvious, there's no in-place-upgrade method. At a bare minimum, you'll have to reformat to NTFS. I suppose you probably could shrink your partition, dual boot with Win 7, copy the stuff over, and then expand the NTFS partition, but that strikes me as unnecessarily complex. Best advice. Back your stuff up, wipe and reload.<div>

I am working on upgrading my Debian 6.0 machine to Windows 7. I am<br>
looking for the increased reliability, lower overall cost, and the<br>
ability to run the only real browser, Internet Explorer, without<br>
jumping through so many hoops.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any ideas for doing an in place upgrade, so I don't<br>
have to back up all of my data to an external drive? It is over a<br>
terabyte, and will take a long time to copy off and back. I would<br>
like to at least keep my home partition.<br>
<br>
Ideally, I would be able to use it as is from Windows 7. I would<br>
also like to transfer over all of my applications too, but expect that<br>
I will need to reinstall most of them from scratch. Has anyone gotten<br>
K3B working in Win 7?<br>
