Help creating a bootable Windows 7 installation disc


Recommended Posts

Hi I wonder I someone can help me.

 

I'm trying to create a bootable windows 7 home premium installation disc so I can re-install the OS after I use Darik's boot and Nuke. I looked at the 2 imgburn guides below-

but I'm unsure of how to create the folder mentioned in the first part of the guide. I downloaded a windows 7 ISO from digitalriver and it's currently sat on my desktop. I tried to put it in a file but it just stays as it is, it doesn't look like the source directory in the guide. It says in part 6 of the guide I have to be able to "Point the 'Boot Image' to the 'etfsboot.com' file within the 'boot' folder in your source folder - i.e. "T:\VISTA_INSTALL\boot\etfsboot.com" " but I can't see that because I can't see the source directory.

 

How do I do this? Or can I simply burn the ISO using Imgburn's "write image file to disc" option and then I'll have a working installation disc?

 

Thank you

Yeah just burn the ISO as is using the 'write image file to disc' option.

 

Just make sure ImgBurn mentions 'Bootable' next to where it says 'File Sys' in the 'Source' box once you've loaded the ISO.
