Windows 7 Question

Sorry,
Didn't find a post for 7, I'm downloading Windows 7 from the Technet site,
which downloads as a .iso file. My question is what do I do with the file
after I've downloaded it. I tried to boot off of it as to get ready to
install the OS but nothing happens.
Thanks Craig

You have a technet subscription and don't know how to use an ISO?

Hmmm. If you don't know what to do with an iso........
Two things. Some Virtual Machine applications allow you to mount an iso to
install from, or, use a burner application to create a bootable disk from
the iso. Nero will do it, so will CDBurner XP Pro (which is free and the one
I use). There are others...

Hello Craig

You will need to use a program like *ImgBurn *to burn (extract) the IS
to a DVD to boot from a DVD to install Windows 7 with.

'The Official ImgBurn Website' (http://www.imgburn.com/

Another option is to burn the ISO to a USB flash drive to boot from an
install Windows 7 that way. Use METHOD ONE below

Hope this helps

Use the ISO Buster which is available at the TechNet site

Craig,
Download and install Imgburn. http://www.imgburn.com/
Now you can burn the .iso to a DVD and boot to it.

You have to burn the iso to a CD or DVD and do the burning with a
program that handles iso files correctly. There are a number of such
programs to choose from; I use a freeware program called ImgBurn.

You then have to boot from the CD or DVD you created.

You burn it to DVD, and it makes a bootable DVD. If you don't have
software to burn to ISO, google "Express Burn".

In my mind, the most elegant way to install Win7 for testing is in
virtual partition. Then you can install your .iso directly. I recommen
vBox. Here is a tutorial I made a while ago how to do that. ( 'Tutorial
