install from dvd

[akalimis]

I am trying to install windows 8 from a dvd (udf) iso dvd i have made from Nero. Although i changed the priority to boot from dvd from the bios of my laptop, it doesn't install from dvd and it starts from hdd, so i can't install them. Do you have any idea about how i can fix the problem?

There is a special procedure to make the Microsoft bootable OS disk...
Search "Slipstreaming Windows" to learn all about it. Valuable info there.

Try this tool if you have a USB drive(if you have files on it store them somewhere else temporarily).

Slipstreaming is integrating the latest updates to your install disc... That has absolutely nothing to do with what the poster requested.

What you need is the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. Here is the link: http://pcsupport.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zTi=1&sdn=pcsupport&cdn=compute&tm=40&f=22&su=p284.13.342.ip_p504.6.342.ip_&tt=2&bt=1&bts=1&st=13&zu=http%3A//images2.store.microsoft.com/prod/clustera/framework/w7udt/1.0/en-us/Windows7-USB-DVD-tool.exe

Don't worry this works for Windows 8 even though it is a Windows 7 tool. This is a tool from Microsoft used to make their .iso files bootable onto a convenient USB drive or DVD.

Follow these steps to create the disc: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/install-windows-8-usb.htm

Takes 4 steps and you are done.

Let me know how this works or what errors you are seeing.

The tool just makes the Windows 7 or Windows 8 .iso file bootable and it does it perfect every time.

I use it at work every time I need a Windows disc

Yea, it's a great tool and will work for 8. Already posted a link for everything he needs above, don't get why people post repetitive things.

Sorry, don't take that as offensive, lol. I say things I shouldn't when I am tired. See a lot of people post things when it's already been said though. 😛

Lol 😀 no worries made me laugh

I do notice that so many repetitive posts though that can't be denied...

did you make the dvd bootable? you may check the .iso.

Sorry that I didn't really encounter such issue before, so I only guess the reason.
