| 1230515 | 2011-09-12 08:30:00 | hi, Still unable to find my 32bit dvd so i just downloaded the iso from a sight previously mentioned. I don't have a blank dvd right now and would like to get windows 7 installed quick. Is it possible to do an upgrade install out of an iso or do i have to burn a disk (currently running xp). |

| 1230517 | 2011-09-12 08:35:00 | You have to burn it to DVD. I suppose you could mount it as a virtual CD (if you have a program), then install it on another partition (If you want a dual boot) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1230520 | 2011-09-12 10:09:00 | Ok used the USB tool. Got this error when attempting to update: Windows was unable to create a required installation folder. Error code: 0x80070005 Any ideas? |

(not sure if this will work if the upgrade requires a restart during the install than you will need to burn a DVD.) |
