MagicISO or CDImage would do the job nicely. Here's a step by step guide on how to make a bootable Vista DVD with CDImage but it should work with Windows 7.

1. Put the three files (the .WIMs and the .exe) in the same folder or directory. Let?s make the example that the three files all in the C:\ root.

2. Run the .EXE file. A new folder named Vista will be created and it will contain a lot of files. These are the setup files.

3. Exit from the install Windows screen.

4. Download CDimage and install it.

5. Click start on your desktop, open Run and type ?cmd?. A command prompt shell will appear.

6. Type: cdimage.exe -lVISTA_EN_DVD -m -u2 -bC:\Vista\boot\etfsboot.com C:\Vista\ C:\Vistax86.iso.

A bootable Windows Vista x86 DVD ISO image will be created as vistax86.iso in C:\.

7. Burn the ISO image by using a burning software such as Nero. To avoid any error make sure to burn at a 2X or 4X speed.

yes. nice. howerver this wont work if u hav 32bit ver of win7 installed and try to do it with 64bit ver of it.

any ideas? please NOW, i want to install it this night.

I really wouldn't recommend upgrading from a beta to a beta. Frankly, I never upgrade, ever. There's just too much that can go wrong. It's so simple to do backups these days, I almost kind of wish Win7 forced a clean install.

"Solution for making Bootable disc:

- Download UltraISO

- Download vlite (google it), when installed, get the "boot.bin" file from it (you can delete vlite after that).

- Launch UltraISO, copy all the files in a new project, and click on:

Bootable -> Load Boot File -> Select boot.bin

- Make ISO & Burn."

That was a comment from the Win7 7048 comment section. That's how you make it bootable. The boot.bin file can be found in the Program Files directory. I've just got a trial of UltraISO, and I think that'll work. I've not tried it yet.

No, it'll work just fine.

I had build 7022 (32bit) installed. I made a copy of the .iso and followed instructions similar to those you have quoted. Burned the new ISO to a DVD and restarted, installed perfectly.

7048 x64 works awsome, you even have the option to remove IE8 due to a court case on atm with Microsoft, Goto Control Panel --> Program and Features --> Turn windows features on or off --> Untick IE and restart done :D

Anyway 7048 is still Beta, not the RC that will release in April.

I installed build 7048 today and I have to say WOW! Windows 7 is truly shaping up to be an amazing OS. I really can't wait for this to come out so I can use it as my main OS.

It's Currently installed on a spare hard drive in my computer, dual booting with Windows Vista. I can see myself booting into Windows 7 more and more.

that was not what i meant. i tried the thing with copying 2 wims and the exe. then launch the exe. wont work. thats what i meant.

if u hav an iso, thats something different of course

thanks for this, that seems to work. except that i had to downloaded a c*****d ver of ultraISO, but they are to blame if they let only write 300mb or what iso file in trial. :p

Anyway 7048 is still Beta, not the RC that will release in April.

No. Its in the Release Candidate chain, this would fall under Pre-RC. Builds prior to 7000 would be pre-Beta.

Havent had a chance to install it yet but its downloaded - Im gonna try that install via memory stick idea. Should be quicker than using another DVD!

how do I get the .bin file from vlite? do i really have to dl that 1gb iso?

the bin file is in the program directory of vlite.

I think I mentioned it before but what I don't like about windows 7, this build has the same issue, is that in Vista, if I wanted notepad or power options I could search in the start menu, it would be the first option in the list, hit enter and I'm done. I search for "note" and power. In Win7 note=sticky note and power=powershell. Its a seriously minor issue, but one that really irritates me.

Also, has anyone managed to get steam to work with it? I havent.

    • Re: Capitalism. It's just 1 of dozens of economic models currently-adopted worldwide; most national models separate money from politics thereby limiting the influence wealth carries over the economy (due to limited tentacles wealth politics has over the broader economy). The "American model" of unfettered financial influence should NOT be the variant of pure capitalism adopted worldwide. More regulations formulated within this variant is effectively useless due to the misalignment between regulatory objectives and fundamental influence wealth politics carry over the market. Re: enough money. Without constraining the breadth/depth/scope/scale that any measure of money/wealth can have within a market, there will always inherently be those who have "enough money" and those who do not. Those without "enough money" will always lose -- regardless if a bedroom DJ, indie developer, or million-dollar corporation going against a billion-dollar mega-corporation. The evil is the absence of guardrails against the influence of wealth; not the mere existence of wealth. Re: dragged through the courts. The liberalist nature of litigation does not exclude anyone, anywhere, for any reason for getting dragged through the courts. Rather than formalize remediation pathways for various perceived ills, everything is left up to flawed interpretations... and this is where a litigation-averse community fails to thrive (thus a losing proposition when dragged to courts). Everyone should have more protections and clear remediation strategies! Going to an alternate remediation arbitration is OK so long as the case review and remediation processes are clear and transparent. For corporations, hit them where it hurts: automatic financial penalties. (PS: This is where corporate risk management strategies would do well to behave more ethically.) Overall, failure to truly shake-up the incentive core and regulatory extremities of the economic market will necessarily mean that all other actions are simply applying lipstick on a pig. Change begins from the inside. Is the root cause of the problem that a majority of consumers within a market goes for Option Brand-name versus Option Indie? Or that brand-name is spending foreign money to control domestic markets? Or that money is the objective measure for success across all walks of life? Or that deep pockets dictate the moral and ethical rights/wrongs of entire societies? Regardless of the answer (and there's nothing inherently wrong with being a socialist or communist or whatever label your surroundings deem 'cool' or 'uncool') there's a common thread: If a market truly wants to nurture domestic innovation, then performative finger-wagging will do nothing to that end.
