It is not on your computer. Onedrive is MS cloud storage where those links point to. It is working fine.
There is such a thing as a onedrive program for those who want to synchronize etc ( I dont have it ). Not required to download from links.
More likely your ISP is having a temporary problem.
Thank you, I will try it tomorrow.
I found out the problem.
It would not download in I.E., but did in Firefox, strange.
Anyway I have the ISO file now.
Booting it from the USB gave me a BOOTMGR is missing error.
How do I now get it to boot from the USB please?
Do you think it might be best to reinstall Windows 7 and create a secondary partition at install, then use AOMEI Backupper to image?
Thanks, Paul.
You need to format the usb to ntfs or fat32 . You have probably already done that. Then extract the entire contents of the iso onto the usb stick.
No, you would have get all the updates, and reinstall all your programs and settings.Do you think it might be best to reinstall Windows 7 and create a secondary partition at install, then use AOMEI Backupper to image?
Thanks for the reply SIW2,
I am away for a few days and will not be back home until Friday.
Could I use MagicISO or somelike to extract the files from the ISO to the USB?
How big will the total files be please?
Thanks again SIW2.
I don't know if magiciso does that. I use 7-zip. The contents are about the same size as the iso.
I actually used jZip which seemed to work.
I extracted everything into the USB.
There only seems to be two folders with data in, is that correct?
So can I atually boot from the USB now or am I totally missing the point?
I have a vista laptop with me so I could try it on here until I get home on Friday.
Thanks in advance.

The layout on USB should be the same as the iso
The folders shouldn't be empty. Not familiarwith jZip, but if everything was copied correctly, and the usb was formatted correctly, it should boot.
Well I am back home at last, hooray.
My test machine is a 32-bit running Vista and ONLY has drive C:.
I unpacked all the files using 7-Zip from the My Boot Media(32-bit) - A23x86 on a NTFS formatted USB.
I changed the BIOS settings.
I put the USB in and booted the machine.
It said checking disk cancelled and then carried on to boot into Vista as normal.
What have I done wrong please?

You may take this article-https://www.lifewire.com/free-disk-partition-software-tools-2624950 as a reference for the difference of some good and free partition tools. And from the individual reviews of them, you may get clear on your questions holding at present.
