    Copy Win 7 disk to HDD?


    Long ago I used to partition my HDD and copy the Windows disk to the partition. Then I'd install Windows from the HDD. Can I still do that with the Win 7 disk?

    Why would you want to do that if you have the disc ?

    Be better to put a disk image on the partition.

    Never mind. Just found out I can't make a boot disk with Win 7. I used to do that because the HDD is faster installing Windows and it's there when needed.

    Cool but it used to be lot simpler with old Windows. I guess when they removed DOS the days are over. :)

    Oh well, I'll just use the disk.

Do anyone know of a free burn software that will burn Disk to Disk for Windows 7? I used to have a version of Roxio Creator that was very good, but it very old and doubt it will work on Win 7. Thanks in advance.
