    No. You can't run Windows 7 from a DVD. You must install it onto a non-removable hard drive. Or are you asking if there is a Windows 7 PE disc available?

    I would just like to be able to place a disc into my optical drive and it loads a windows operating system were I can if need be reformat my c drive . I have a laptop which is partition into 2 drives . ( C , F drives ) My F drive has a True Image backup of my C drive . Every now and then I like to be able to reformat the c drive were later on I can just do a recovery with True Image live disc and restore my c drive ... So what is it I would need , thanks

    BTW this windows copy is not a hidden or product recovery , its an actual windows 7 oem version , it has nothing to do with the laptop company

    I assume you mean you have an Acronis True Image System Backup Image file (.tib) on your F drive.
    If that's the case, you do not need to run Windows (or anything) to format the C partition prior to restoring the Image file.
    The Acronis restore operation will format the partition and restore the Image.

    It's also advisable to keep backup images on at least two hard drives.
    If one hard drive fails, you still have a 2nd backup location available...

    My Acronis TI has built in Help.
    Click on the ? icon (show help) in the upper right to open the Help.

    You could also look on the Acronis Website for info...

    Are you referring to Acronis DriveCleanser ? If so ? Does that not destroy the drive or is it meant to reformat ? I will take a look at your suggestions to but I thought to ask that question any way about ADC

    Thanks

    I've never used Acronis DriveCleaner, and don't know anything about it...

    I'm referring to Acronis True Image Home (TI).

    I see DriverCleaner is a tool in Acronis TI.
    I've never used it.

    I use Backup, Restore, and sometimes mount an Image...
    I don't do anything fancy...i prefer to create Backups manually when i want...

    Yes , that is what I'm talking about to . The rescue disc which you can create with the ATI program . Also your ATI is it 2012 version ?
