| 1142271 | 2010-10-06 23:57:00 | Hi, I have a Windows 7 x32 DVD, I created a ISO file using Img2burn, as MS's tool request for a ISO file . But it now says . . . the selected file is not a valid ISO file . So . . does it work only by directly downloading a ISO file from the MS site? Can normal people do this? Like if they bought Windows 7 but their system does not have a DVD drive . I know I can download it cos I got it thru MS's IT Academy (thru my course) . Interested to know how normal people can do it . . . |

| 1142273 | 2010-10-07 00:04:00 | Thanks, hopefully my MS downloaded ISO file thru the IT academy works then. Umm .. for normal people is the MS Shop free, like if you bought Win7 but don't have a DVD drive? Or do you simply just purchase Win7 directly off their website? |

| 1142276 | 2010-10-07 00:35:00 | The problem is Imageburn has NOT made the ISO correctly. (no real surprise there) Aparently the MS USB tool only works with ISOs downloaded from the purchased MS Shop thingy Thats also wrong, you can make your own ISO, they do not have to be the ones downloaded from MS. Had to do one this morning with a Vista Install. Install ISO Recorder (isorecorder.alexfeinman.com) first. To make the correct ISO file it was simply put the vista OEM DVD into my W7 PC, right click the DVD drive, " Create Image From CD/DVD" and then load up the MS USB creator and load it into that. |

Thanks, now working. Why doesn't Imgburn work? I could use Imgburn to create an ISO and then copy to DVD to make a workable bootable DVD. |

| 1142278 | 2010-10-07 02:21:00 | Issue. I could select the ISO file correctly, then I chose the USB stick (H: in my case) and then it formats then says "we were unable to copy your files". I have a 4GB cheap Lexar. 4GB too small or the USB stick too plain? |

| 1142279 | 2010-10-07 02:48:00 | The drive is big enough, W7 is only about 2.444 GB. Got another Drive to try ? PM coming, you'll see why ;) |
