| | Windows Ultimate. I'm not paying for another copy, thank you. Btw, using that partition tool am I supposed to make the partition created Primary so it can be active? |

| | Hi, You do NOT have to pay anything - you have already paid for the licence to use the DVD, but seeing that its broken, you can get the ISO to replace it, install it and activate with your licence key that you got with your DVD. Nothing more to pay. When you paid for your Ultimate, you actually paid for the licence key - the media (DVD) is a fraction of the cost. In fact, if you have a friend with exactly the same version of Windows 7 on a DVD, you could have installed with that, using your licence key to activate it. Regards, Golden |

| Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1 SecretCity | I think you got error 0x80070017 because of install.wim which has failures or is unreadable. Clean the dvd or download iso |

In windows assign a driveletter to the new partition let's say X. Then in Elevated Command Prompt D:\boot\bootsect /nt60 X: /mbr D:\boot\bootsect /nt60 X: Replace D with the driveletter of DVD (put install dvd in). |

| | I found how to boot windows 7 on a external hard drive by using a program called PWBoot. Again, the name is PWBoot. It took me ages to find a program like this. All you have to do is install windows Vista or windows 7 by connecting the drive on ata or ide. Then after the installation is over, you boot into windows and install the program PWBoot. From that moment on, your hard drive will be able to boot from a USB. Sweet uh? |
