How can I make a .iso of Windows 7 Professional

To be absolutely sure you are activated

For Windows Vista and Windows 7
Just type slui in StartSearch and Run Dialogbox.

Thanks, activated it, it would seem it's all sorted now :)

James,
The reason it worked for you is the fact that you have a full install key.
Lucky you.......

The OFFICIAL answer:

Dear Customer,

Thank you for choosing Windows 7 Online store.

We understand that you are interested to purchase Windows 7 Upgrade through our online store.

We apologize for the confusion.

The Windows 7 offered in this promotion is a full version. You can

install this product even though you do not have a previous Operating System installed in your computer

or if you want to make a multi boot using Windows 7. The "Upgrade" included in the product name is just

because Windows 7 is the latest Operating System Windows developed.



Sincerely,

Joanna A.

Good to hear, I'll be making a guide when I get home, although there are a lot already.
I'll put a link on it on this thread when I'm done.

Hi,
I too am in the same situation as you. Thanks to everyone!

By the way, the tool oscdimg.exe I have and have also found on other sites is only 74KB not 123KB, like the one available here, just curious.
I took mine inside windows AIK (IT tool) which is a free download from MS and you can find the tool once you installed it (.img file from MS is around 900MB).

I can now say I am a happy camper since I was finally able to make the ISO file. I was first having trouble with all sorts of errors.

For those who are still struggling...all I can say to help you guys out is:
TYPE OUT THE CODE INSTEAD OF COPY AND PASTE!

thank you!
