Sethos Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hey, Here's the deal, want to give the latest build of Windows 7 a try but I've got no spare DVDs and the biggest USB pen I have is 1GB. So I read a while ago about installing it through Daemon Tools, hopefully it wasn't some sort of crazy dream? You were supposed to mount it in Daemon Tools from within your OS, then you should be able to boot from that image when restarting your PC and then be able to install from there - Is that true or did I read this wrong? Perhaps it's not the exact way to go about this ... ? Any info appreciated :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Live Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yeah, I'm assuming you've made another partition for your Win7 install. Just mount the DVD from the other partition and setup will run and allow you to select the target partition and copy the files over and it reboots continues the setup.

DukeEsquire Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I've done that with Vista so I imagine Windows 7 would work as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 I was under the impression it would find the virtual drive during boot :laugh: Guess I just learned something new, it worked perfectly and I'm not up and running, thanks (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? Daemon tools makes a boot-readable drive? Where was I when this feature came out? :x I didn't know you could do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
