| | I need to install Windows 7 on a new hard drive but I dont know how. I recently purchased windows 7 Home Edition. I downloaded the installation files from Microsoft's website. Recently my computer crashed completely due to a virus. I bought a new hard drive and I want to install windows on the new hard drive but I don't know how without the installation CD which I don't have since I downloaded the install files. Thanks in advance. |

| | I assume the file you downloaded has an iso extension? If so, you need to burn it to a DVD---the resulting DVD should be bootable and good for installation. You will need a Product Key to activate the new install. |

| | How do I burn the iso to a CD? Does the program I use matter? Are there any special settings so that its bootable? |

| | You must use a DVD, not a CD. Any decent burning program will work. I use ImgBurn, but others are usually OK. Use a slow burning speed---4x to 12x. If it burns, it should be bootable by default. If you fail, try again on another disk. |

| | Burn ISO to DVD using ImgBurn at 4x speed, or write to flash stick using Universal USB Installer with Windows 7 in dropdown menu. Boot the DVD or stick to clean install following these illustrated steps: Clean Install Windows 7 How to Boot your Computer from a Bootable CD or DVD |
