which software would be best to use if i wanted to install W7 by mounting the image as opposed to burning it to a dvd?

Virtual CloneDrive any good?

I just extracted the iso to an external HD and ran the Setup.exe from there.

That's what I did. I ran the setup.exe that was extracted on the external HD and chose the partition I wanted to install it on.

u moved the extracted files to your external and then ran the setup.

would it work the same way if i dragged the setup files to the new partition and just ran the installer there?

what about when it reboots will there be problems during installation?

I don't think you can drag it to the partition you want it installed on. It would be written over. When I clicked

the setup.exe, it worked just as if it were the DVD. Just extract the ISO using Winrar to someplace other than

the partition you want to install. Worked flawlessly here.

Ugh enough with with all these reports of every build being "faster" If every build was so fast we'd be installing in 3 minutes or something! This build is exactly like 7068 minus the wmp bugs and it took WAY longer to install, especially with that random reboot after it configures your networking. Just stop claiming false things because you're excited about a new build.

Just a question. Others have claimed a 15-20 minute install, are they lying?

Virtual clonedrive does just fine. It's not like XP anymore. You start the install from within Windows, and when it asks for reboot you don't need the DVD anymore, all will go just well! I've installed every build since 6801 this way and it always worked perfectly from the first try.

some possible interesting news from wzor:

winmain_win7rc branch:

7077.0.090404-1255 - official RC Escrow build. - search for in torrents.

7078.0.090406-1758

actual build in winmain_win7rc branch:

7079.0.090407-1902

maybe we might see 7079 leak and maybe it might be the build they use for RC1 and rename it to 7000

If what Wzor said is true, then it looks like 7077 will definitely not be the final RC, and it's now anyone's guess which build will be the final RC.

I've been installing the leaked builds using that method since 6956. I have Vista partition that I keep just in case and always mount the ISO using (Daemon or VCD) and run setup and install it to my other(Win7) partition.

Of course if you already have Win7 installed on the other partition, make sure to format it if you don't want it to create Windows.old directory.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.

      with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
