How to make a bootable ISO / DVD from the Windows 7 download
For those of you that purchased the download Student upgrade of Windows 7 and wish to burn the files to bootable DVD, here’s how you do it.
First you will need to download Oscdimg to convert the download to an ISO (Unzip it into the folder I list below)
Make a folder in the root of your C: drive called Win7. Copy or Move the expandedSetup folder the download created into that new folder and put that oscdimg.exe into that folder also. Then go to the command prompt, change to the c:\Win7 directory and type this:
Oscdimg.exe –u2 –bC:\Win7\expandedSetup\boot\etfsboot.com –h C:\Win7\expandedSetup C:\Win7\Win7.iso
[If you have it on another drive letter or want to use a different folder just change accordingly]
Then you can burn that Win7.iso with any burning utility, Active@ ISO burner (freeware) or ImgBurn work fine.
