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.

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.

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

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!

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.

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
