    How did you create the DVD? You have to use a program like Imgburn (free)
    to burn the DVD.

    windows 7 rc 64


    I used media player and I also used nero. The thing is I have downloaded windows 7 x86 a few times and that always worked. I would like to try 64 bit but can't get it to boot onto my drive.

    Download ImgBurn (a free app) and try burning with that to a DVD+/-R.

    If your download is good and you burn the ISO with ImgBurn, it should boot.

    what method of install did you use.?
    maybe its just a very long day today, but I'm getting confused reading the below parts of the thread. I'm really not sure what we are working with.
    1.
    Disconnected one hard drive tried to boot on the other and get this message: Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.
    2.
    Now when I boot into the second drive I get: BOOTMGR is missing
    3. Does your system support x64. Not all CPUs support x64.
    I used media player and I also used nero. The thing is I have downloaded windows 7 x86 a few times and that always worked. I would like to try 64 bit but can't get it to boot onto my drive.
    might be best to solve 1 problem at a time... have we done that?
