Win 7 Hangs Up On Expanding - Need To Test RAM
Have downloaded Win 7 Pro (3 files: win7-P-Retail-en-us-x64.exe, setup1.box, & setup2.box). Tried expanding from a USB HDD, a logical drive D:, and a DVD. Expand always hangs up after 871 files (202 MB). Numerous posts suggest checking RAM with memtest86.
Downloaded memtest86+4.20.iso.zip and extracted to a CD. Extracted info is a Readme.txt file and a BOOT folder containing files BOOT.CAT and MEMTEST.IMG. The Readme file just says memtest86+ is in the disc boot sector. Tried the CD in an ASUS notebook running Vista (on which my goal is to replace Vista with Win 7) and a Dell desktop running XP. Newbie question: Why won’t the PCs boot from this CD?
