Thanks Chris.
I effectively did all that (in fact, outside of forgetting to turn the sound on before I started), I had enabled the network card before I installed, and as soon as the 32bit install was complete, it had already gone to the internet, downloaded 2 patches and rebooted. Very cool.
I'm going to try and see if the ISO I have of the 64bit is dodgy. That might explain it a bit. It will become apparent when this replacement motherboard actually arrives, and I can try it without the virtualbox complexity in the middle.
Although, staying up until 4am playing with Windows 7 in a virtual machine (it was cloudy after all!) has elevated me to a new level of geekiness that I had not thought I would reach, and I'm pretty geeky already..
