hello new to the forums, I searched the web and didn't find anything on how to upgrade my hard drive i have a Acer aspire 4730z laptop with a 150Gb HDD. I want to upgrade to a 750GB Western Digital Scorpio Blue. I was wondering if i could use the factory restore DVDs to install a fresh copy of the OS onto the new HDD or do i need a windows DVD i pre orderd windows 7 pro could i just use that?
