Can't open Windows 7 x64 Mounted Image

The problem is you are attempting to mount the 64 bit installer image using a 32 bit OS.

Burn the ISO to a DVD or load the files to a primary-formatted flash stick and boot to format and install.

wut do u mean by primary formatted?

do i have to go onto BIOS or something?

Just burn the ISO to a DVD and boot from that, as you can't mount or run a 64 bit installer from 32 bit environment.

You can also create a USB flash stick installer, by plugging it in and formatting it as a primary drive in Disk Management, then extracting the ISO files into its root.

Guess that rules me out for 64-bit until I get myself a blank DVD........

Use a USB Key to Install Windows 7?Even on a Netbook

I hope that the version of Win7 that you downloaded is a legal one. (Didn't sound like it.) If not, you may find that it contains a trojan horse or worse.

lol i dont know what u mean by 'legal' but this is how i got it... incase that affects it :)

my friend is a member of MSDN and got this copy, then he gave me a copy of the 'image'.
i only want to use that 30-day trial with the 4 times re-arm thingy.
so it technically ALL legal

anyways, i tried this on my other friends computer earlier today and it has 2 errors:
"SPWIZENG.DLL" is corrupt (or something like that)
"autorun.dll" something was wrong with that too

Anyone who can help is much appreciated. THANKS!

Again, burn the ISO to DVD using ImgBurn at 4x with Verify.

Or download UltraISO and Write the ISO to a flash stick.

You need to boot from the installer to get around that error, I believe.

Save $1 a day to buy Premium x 1 or family 3 pack for $150 - yours for life.

alright so i tried burning at booting from it. i burned it with PowerISO v4.6 at 4x with verify, like u said.
now i get an error that says that there are no drivers to load (or something like that). it tells me to browse for drivers but it expects me browse for a folder.. sorry i cannot get a screenshot because it is from boot. please give me another option. THANKS!

We need a more specific error message to know what driver you need.

Here are drivers for Windows 7 for your model: HP Compaq 6730s Notebook PC- Download drivers and software - HP Business Support Center

Look in System Information for your BIOS version and make sure you have the latest one from that downloads page.
