777631 2009-05-28 02:45:00 Just got the June PC World mag, and was looking forward to trying out the Win 7 RC. I read a number of other posts on this forum that said it was included in the June issue DVD.
Well, maybe I'm going crazy but I can't find it on mine?? I've definitely got the June 09 issue, and yes I did buy the right mag (NZ PC World!) The DVD is included, but no mention of Win 7? Am I missing something??

777632 2009-05-28 03:16:00 Assuming PC World did the same as the beta (I haven't got it yet :p), it'll be an actual Windows DVD. Try booting from it. ;) pcuser42 (130)
777633 2009-05-28 03:21:00 It was a seperate disk wasn't it? wratterus (105)

777635 2009-05-28 03:35:00 Yep, i got two disks, one was a complete win 7 one Gobe1 (6290)
777636 2009-05-28 03:35:00 I just got the one disc only, the normal PC World DVD. At first I thought maybe there was a second DVD that was missing, but there isn't even a mention of it in the magazine itself?
Are you saying there should be a second, seperate disc as well??

777638 2009-05-28 04:43:00 Yes I have researched this problem today, the disk seems to be sent out when one subscribes to PCWorld if you buy it from an outlet the disk is not included with the magazine.

I think that you have to be a subscriber to get the disk.

Ah, that would explain it then. I just buy mine from the shops, rather than subscribe, that's why I wouldn't have got it. Anyway thanks to bob_doe_nz for sending me out a copy :thumbs:

777640 2009-05-28 05:05:00 The W7 Disk was lose in the Mag, ( I subscribe) Its a blue disk - all you had to do was shake the mag a bit and it fell out, so if it were in the shop version, there would be a whole heap of either stolen DVD's or it will have fallen onto the book shelf. wainuitech (129)
