So I've been trying like hell to install my windows 7 ultimate on to my new SSD drive (Vertex 3 120 GB) and every time it start to install it then says its having trouble installing from disk. So I made a ISO image file using DAEMONT TOOLS PRO. Can anyone tell me if I have anything here? Can I do anything with this new created ISO Image file? Thank you for taking the time to read about my problem.

You can't install from ISO. You have to burn it to DVD. Or extract it using winrar and put on usb stick (put it on primary partition which is active) and boot from it.
What porblems do you have EXACTLY when installing win7?

You can install Windows from an ISO if you have a virtual CD drive. Just install like normal from within after it sets itself up it no longer needs the CD once it does the first reboot. Of course this only works if you are installing the same bit version. 32bit installer with 32bit installation is 64bit with 64bit.
Picking "Custom Install" from setup with instead a fresh clean install of Windows while moving the old install to Windows.old.

Exactly!! Thats what I was thinking from just finishing reading about virtual drives on the DAEMON Tools Pro instruction manual. So do i put the iso file on the Vir. Drive & then point my start up drive to The Vir. Drive in my BIOS? .... Thats probably like way off and retarted for even thinking that right? ...ha
