A Windows 7 Media Center Install Guide

Windows Media Center MVP Pete Stagman has a great post on how he installed and configures his Windows 7 Media Center from start to finish.

Pete had to do a fresh install and decided to document the process, which includes a Raid 0 array, which is recommended when either recording 2 or more HD streams or when recording 3 or more standard streams at the same time. Having a Raid 0 array enables the hard drives to keep up with the amount of data continually being written to them and avoids a "bottleneck", where video or audio may start to skip or freeze.

Pete also includes the steps to install the Windows Home Server connector client onto Windows 7 Media Center as well as many tips, which you can read here.
