Need to install Win7 over Vista - Help!
I have a desktop PC - HP TouchSmart with Vista Home - I want to install Windows 7 but I can't get my PC to boot from its DVD. I looked at the boot up bios and the DVD is bootable but when I put my windows 7 DVD with the iso file on it, into the drive, it lights up at boot up time then switches over to the C drive.
A friend told me I can't boot from an iso file (I don't even what it is) but I downloaded the iso file from Microsofts website following their Windows 7 installation instructions. I got as far as copying the iso file onto a DVD and I *thought* the next thing was for me to boot from it, but it won't boot.
