Definitely clean install, which is pretty straight forward. It's the upgrade media and attempting a clean install on a blank disk. I was afraid MS closed the loop hole and required users to do in-place upgrades with the Win7 upgrade media, but I wanted to confirm this was possible and that an existing OS wasn't required. It's a sticky situation when a laptop drive fails, and the upgrade media becomes useless.

So one should manually activate Windows with the supplied key from the upgrade media after installation, correct? 
Thanks for the confirmation and report. I can't wait to ditch the U330 hard drive in favor of an SSD before installing Win7 with the upgrade media. I'll give it a shot in a couple of weeks. Feel free to report your results in this thread!
