We most definitely do.
I'm well aware I can double click the iso whilst I'm in another OS, but doing so will create a boot loader on that OS's partition and subsequently create boot entries. This is the whole point of the thread, to avoid this occurrence.
Mickey Megabyte said (to which you said was also possible), if I understand him correctly, I could copy the Windows 7 iso contents (in other words, the setup files) onto a partition on another drive, disconnect the XP drive I used to copy the iso files over and then install Windows 7 from the other hard drive.
Now, given that I've disconnected the XP drive and the other hard drive (with the Win7 files on) has no OS, how is it even possible to run those files?
I'm pretty certain this is impossible, but somewhere along the lines no one is picking up this point, as if I leave the XP drive connected, Windows 7 will still create a boot loader/entries.
