I decided to compile a fast way to get your Windows 7 into a bootable DVD without having to convert it into an ISO. The processor is very speedy, and does not require the compiling of files into an Iso format. As we all know Microsoft has given us a utility for creating an Iso file, however people report it takes a very very long time. This is how I did it.

This guide is for people using the Student upgrade version, consisting of
Setup1.box Setup2.box, and Win7-P-Retail-en-us-x64


Step 1, Download the Box files and exe via the probably download manager given to you in your mail. From here run the Setup named Win7-P-Retain-en-Us-x86/orx64

Step 2 Insure the file is completely extracted unto the Desktop: Size should be 3.01gb

Step X Run the setup to run an Inplace install if you want (or can), or if you want to make a bootable read on

Step 3: If you receive this error: Please follow to Error Correction 1a

Step 5a: Rerun the extraction setup: Win7-P-Retain-en-Us-x86/orx64.
NOTICE: If the error appears again, it is fine. Check the Folder size, if it is 3.01gb then proceed on and ignore the error. This error correction is to avoid the files from being deleted by Window's due to lack or rights after the setup is finished....

IVE FOUND IT! simple you make an iso and ive test it it work to boot from disk

1. Download this tool :

http://www.sevenforums.com/attachments/general-discussion/32382d1256189124-make-bootable-iso-student-d-l-oscdimg.zip

2. Unzip and move oscdimg.exe to your System32 directory (likely to be C:\Windows\System32)

3. Open an elevated command prompt.

In Vista you do this by typing 'cmd' into your 'Start Menu' and hitting ctrl+shift+enter.

In XP, just type 'cmd' into the Run dialogue (Windows Key+R or from your Start Menu).

In win7 RC go in start search "cmd", right "click run as admin"

4. Type (or copy and paste(with right click in cmd window))
the following into your command prompt (this will vary a little, depending on where you've put your expandedSetup folder):


oscdimg.exe -u2 -b"C:\expandedSetup\boot\etfsboot.com" -h "C:\expandedSetup" C:\WIN7.ISO

5. Ta'da! You've got a burnable ISO!

6 use imgburn click make an iso, add the iso thats been create "WIN7.ISO"

7 burn enjoy

ill add later all the images

its test and it work!

This will work, however takes much longer than my method. My method bypasses creating the iso saving you an hour or hours.

"I decided to compile a fast way to get your Windows 7 into a bootable DVD without having to convert it into an ISO.
