Windows 7 - How can I make a bootable DVD?

Maybe it's a stupid question,but I can't figure it out how...?
At this moment,I have Win 7 buil 7000 32 bit installed,and I want install x64 version,so I have downloaded Windows 7 build 7048 x64,but it's not a bootable ISO file.
I managed to make an ISO,but have never did and don't know how to make a bootable ISO file,I have already tried several programs(PowerISO,MagicDisc,ImgBurn,Nero 8),but every time I burn an image on disc,it doesn't work.
If there is someone who is willling to explain me correct way step by step,I'll be really greatful.
Thank you for not laughing.

I am honestly confused, make the iso bootable?
As in make it boot from daemon tools ( or a similar app? ) is not possible.
I know some iso burners have issues with dvd's but i believe imgburn can do it.
As far as booting from the dvd ull have to change ur boot order upon start up.
I am kinda confused sry : \

If you have UltraISO you can use that.

Uf,I didn't explain it very well.I'm sorry,that's probably because of my bad english.
What I meant is that I have downloaded Win 7 build 7048 x64,and when I burn it on DVD disc,so I can install it later,it's not bootable.
It wasn't ISO,but I tried to make it an image,an image like it was build 7022 which I downloaded from microsoft.com.
It doesn't matter to me either it is an image or not,I just want it to be bootable when I burn it to DVD.
I hope I made it a bit easier to understand.

I too have great difficulty understanding How I can make a bootable DVD.

I have UltraISO.

I cannot understand what files to put on the DVD.
Is it just the ISO file.
Is it a bin file and a cue file.
Do I expand the ISO - using WinRAR - and put the expanded files on the DVD.

If you have UltraISO, please tell me the steps to make a bootable DVD that I can use to Install Seven. Confused
Thanks,

maybe someone else can shed some light but my process was:
download the iso
burn the image to a dvd
power down
power back up and boot from dvd.

I dont recall a setup option to make the dvd bootable?
Is your dvd drive bootable in the bios?
Did you get a bad iso?

Hi guys

Assume you are using Ultra ISO

1) extract the Bootable file the DVD from any bootable DVD build of Windows 7 from 7000 onwards but use the same type of version (x-32, or X-64) that you are going to install.

2) save this as a .BIF file (you can also save it as an .ima or .img file . It will probably be called microsoft.img

3) copy all the Windows 7 files from your "non bootable" dvd to say a directory Windows 7.

4) in the Ulta ISO do select load boot image and load this file into your complilation.

5) Now add all the Windows 7 files you have put in the Windows 7 directory. (Omit the directory you called it e.g Windows 7 --just add all the files and directories under this one).

6) Burn the DVD.

(If you need Ultra ISO it's on the major torrents).

Q.E.D

gl! sorry i couldnt help more, but it looks like jimbos got ur solution

Yesss...and I thought so,but..there has to be always at least one "but"...

There is my problem,I don't have any other Windows 7 x64 DVD,and because of that I am asking a question if maybe there is some other way to make it work,without earlier Windows 7 64-bit version.

I was doing it just like that in my first tries,but it doesn't work.
Build x64 has one "bootmgr.efi" more than 32-bit version.I've tried to put "bootmgr" from 32-bit version,but it didn't work,even if I move away another "bootmgr",that "bootmgr.efi".
So,if there are not other solutions,that means if I don't find standalone bootfile(2 of them) for 64-bit version somewhere on the net,I'll have to download Windows 7 x64 build 7000 so I can extract that files,and put them into 7048 build.

Thank you on your time anyway,Jimbos.

Hi -- you need to extract the boot record FROM THE DVD -- it's not the bootmgr in the DATA files. Use Ultra ISO or ISO buster to extract the boot record -- I think even a VISTA DVD boot record might work -- the name is usually something like MICROSOFT.IMG or MICROSOFT.IMA.
