Windows 7 ISO

Hey everyone,

So I'm building a new machine and am hoping to install Windows 7 on it. As a student of a large university in the US and an upcoming Information Technology major, I am granted access to Microsoft Developer Network Academic Alliance (MSDNAA). This contains license keys a downloads direct from Microsoft for free. The only disc delivery option they offer on the site is an Update disc and it's $24 so I obviously don't want to do that. I've used the download option and now have the large ISO and am hoping to put it onto a disc where I can install it to my new machine when I have completed building it. I know there is software out there to use but are there any suggestions of some Freeware I can use to accomplish this? Anyone else have any other suggestions or comments for me? I appreciate the help in advance!

Burn at the lowest speed possible and use decent quality media.

Hey guys,

The burn worked perfectly; I've got my disc ready and I'll check back when I finish building my machine to say whether it worked or didn't work! Thank you kindly

hasn't win 7 got it's own built-in iso burner - windows disc image burner aka isoburn.exe?



anyway, welcome to sevenforums ej00262.

you can also stick the iso onto a 4 gig flash drive if you want to get geeky - (as you should if you're studying IT) - USB Windows 7 Installation Key Drive - Create. it installs quicker, won't get scratched, and a bit more portable, if that's what you want. :)

I've heard about booting from Flash drives.. I'll very likely do that as a backup to the disc I've made. It's just nice to have the disc + license key in my notebook of discs for the times when problems arise :)
