Hello swede1, welcome to Windows 7 Forums!

Are you sure the "7000" you got is an ISO?

yes, well, atleast the file name ends with .iso, i have tried to burn a disc with ultra iso and magic iso, but no luck

When you say "bootable", do you mean exactly that, or readable/useable?

**swede1** · 01-04-2009

I mean bootable, i want to do a clean install.

Looks like you have been burning the ISO straight to disk in file format rather then expanding the files on to the disk, which I made the mistake of doing as well the first time.

I used PowerISO, just click open and then select the ISO image then click on burn, job done.

Have a read of this and see if it helps - Burn Disc Image - ISO or IMG file

The image I received (same as z3r010) booted perfectly fine....

If your using Windows 7 there is no need for 3rd party tools as it natively supports ISO burning by just right clicking the ISO and selecting burn.
