Windows 7 SP1 OEM ISO - Microsoft Site

[sportsfan7700]

Same thing here. OEM copy..Congrats to get it to work. So the options are....?

I also have not been able to get a clean imgburn download so I use either Roxio Easy CD and DVD Creator [about $30 at Wal*Mart] or CDBurnerXP [Free at https://www.cdburnerxp.se/en/download]. CDBurnerXP works on Windows up through and including Windows 10. I get the .iso file and since it is an exact image of the original disc I can create exact duplicates of that disc.

The .iso file of Windows and Linux LiveCD/LiveDVD and others contain the files necessary to boot to the disc. Simply copying the data from a disc to another disc doesn't get those files.

Why were they taken away to begin with?

I downloaded imgburn off a torrent site as when I downloaded from their website and others it was full of adware that was picked up off a scan with malwarebytes.

So if I'm correct I burn ISO using imgburn at 4x speed and that makes it a bootable DVD correct, so if the worst was to happen I can just put the DVD in and reinstall windows with it?

Playback bear would you like me to upload my virus & malware free copy to my Dropbox and link here for you to download.

I've scanned it with malwarebytes & nod32 antivirus.

Looks like the OP hasn't got 'show file extensions for known file types' enabled (setup would show as setup.exe). If he had, that so-called rar file would be shown having an iso extension ie windows.iso not windows.rar . It's only showing as a rar file because of the association. No need to download again - it will be the same file, an iso.

BTW - congrats at getting a Microsoft download

What do you mean the "OP" doesn't have show file extensions enabled....do you mean the winrar options?

I uninstalled winrar and now the file is showing as an ISO disk image file.

So hopefully should be able to burn to DVD and have a new copy of windows 7 with Service Pack 1 on it.

Within Windows, you have a check by this option:





That makes the file named setup.exe show up as just setup.



It also makes the ISO file extension not show up in the file's name.

So do I need to uncheck the "hide file extensions" to successfully burn the ISO image as I just have one file now called win 7 pro 64 bit sp1.ISO.

I should just be able to burn that using imgburn and it will function like an exact windows disc.

It does not matter if the setting is checked or unchecked.

Way back in post #19, wasnotwas was attempting to point out that you did not need to download the file again. wasnotwas was attempting to tell you that the ISO file extension was there all along. It was simply hidden.

The Windows default is to hide file extensions if there is a program associated with the file extension.

While WinRAR was installed, ISO was a "known file extension" and thus hidden from view.

Once you uninstalled WinRAR, the ISO file extension became "unknown" and thus showed.

Clear as mud?

Ok thanks, yep clear as mud

Sorry for not explaining 'known file types' fully.

Re : ImgBurn and other install exe's affected by Open Candy (which tries to install toolbars etc), you can usually circumvent the Open Candy cr*p by installing from a command line using the switch '/nocandy'. So if setup_ImgBurn.exe is on your desktop, open a cmd window, navigate to desktop, then type

'setup_ImgBurn.exe /nocandy'

without the quotes, (then enter). The program name must be typed exactly - underscores etc - but you can ignore uppercase.

I did this with latest ImgBurn, and only got one prompt - for Ask toolbar, which I declined. IIRC, this also works for Freemake. MediaInfo and a few others.

Hi Folks,

Well I'd like to let you all know that I succesfully burned the ISO using imgburn @ 4 x speed and it's working fine.

Just to test it i restarted my pc and set my DVD drive as main boot drive, and then I got the prompt "Press Any key to boot from CD/DVD" just like with my original Windows 7 disc.

So Now I have a Disc that has Service Pack 1 encorporated on it, I want to run a repair install of my system as a few things are playing up but I have some questions.
- I installed Service Pack 1 manually (Via download from MS Site), can I simply insert the new disc and run a repair install by clicking upgrade, since SP1 is currently installed?
-Will it wipe any data, I don't mind having to reinstall Motherboard Drivers, Chipset drivers etc, but I'd like to be able to keep my installed games (On a Seperate HDD)

Will await to here from the Seven community, but for anyone who has an OEM key for Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit, it appears you can download the MS site listed in my original post, you just have to enter your product key wait about 30 seconds to validate and then select your language, and select your download (Note I used Chrome browser) not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Cheers,
Chris

I have an OEM copy and worked for me. I have a stand alone windows 7 disc so just used my product key from that.

 

[sportsfan7700]

That could be it. I don't have one yet. I'm getting a repair disk with all the OS's capability soon.

I decided to give that a try on my OEM system builder key I bought in 2009 and it worked too. (I still have the disc, but it's not SP1)

Do you mean that yr original disc is not service pack 1?

The whole reason I downloaded it was to get a copy of Windows 7 which already had service pack 1 on it, which this new copy does as the name suggests.

Do you mean that yr original disc is not service pack 1?

Correct, I bought it a couple days before Windows 7 was released in Oct. 2009.

The whole reason I downloaded it was to get a copy of Windows 7 which already had service pack 1 on it, which this new copy does as the name suggests.

Good idea, I'm downloading both right now (x86 & x64) just because.

I'll give my Seven Pro key a try again too, see if it gets accepted this time. It's a retail key.

 

[sportsfan7700]

Is that from the link I provided Dere, or another one?
