    Ultimate upgrade version - lost install disc


    I have Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade version but have lost the install iso that I downloaded when I purchased it. I have tried a 'normal' Ultimate iso that I downloaded from digital river but it is not accepting my serial key.

    Is the upgrade media different in some way to the SP1 iso? Is there any way to download a copy?

    Cheers

    The Upgrade Key should work with the downloaded disk - but remember that you cannot boot from the disk and use the upgrade Key. It requires that you boot from a functional and valid OS.
    If you're attempting a Clean install, don't enter the Key at all - complete the install, and then run a repair install, this time entering the Upgrade Key.

I have a valid legal copy of Vista Home Basic installed on my computer. I have lost the install disc and box. I would like to do a clean install of 7 home premium on a new empty HD (a different HD than the Vista install) on the same computer. Is this possible with the upgrade version?
I ordered a Vista Ultimate Upgrade disc to get rid of the Windows 7 RC 32-bit. Since 7 is newer, they say it won't work, but I've heard from two sources that booting from BIOS would overwrite 7. Is this true? I don't care if it cleans my HD, I already backed up.
