ok.. it will not burn using my installed windows media disc image burner... I clicked on unblock and then apply .....

 

[phant0m2012]

I have downloaded the link greg posted. will try and do it with windows dvd-usb tool...

 

[phant0m2012]

ok , tried gregs link, Windows 7 USB-DVD Download Tool .. this failed !

 

[gregrocker]

Exactly how? Error message?

Try ImgBurn.

 

[Arc]

Download and install CDBurnerXP.

During installation, dont accept Mobogenie.

After installation, run the program.

Place a blank disc in the Optical Disc Drive.

Click on "Burn ISO Image" > OK.


In the resulting page, set your Optical Disc path. Browse to the downloaded ISO file's location, set the speed and click on "Burn Disc".



Does it write the image to the disc?

ok... downloaded and tried burning with CDBurnerXP. .. failed !!! is it possible that the disks i am using are shit ??? just a thought... bought them from a discount shop here ???

 

[gregrocker]

Try flash installer with MS tool.

Extremely strange.

Take Greg's suggestion. Does it fail too?
If so, Try using WinToFlash. Does it fail too?
If so, get one other blank disc, not a discount one .... try CDBurnerXP again.

If all fail, then ...... better you get the work done rather doing it yourself.

If I may a little question.
Are DVD'S or CD's being used?
Is a DVD burner or CD burner being used?

I will go away and not be a bother.

 

[phant0m2012]

i was using the dvd burner links that i were given.. now i,m onto the wintoflash method.... see how that turns out....

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Layback Bear was not referring to links.

He was referring to your personal hardware:

Are you using a CD burner?

Or a DVD burner?

Are you using CDs?

Or DVDs?

 

[phant0m2012]

i am using dvd,s...

 

[phant0m2012]

hi there.... i think i now have the ISO on my usb drive !!! what shall i do now ?

 

[Arc]

I think you should follow post #266 now, for which you burned the ISO.

 

[phant0m2012]

but how do i run the iso on my usb drive ? do i have to shut down my computer. restart pressing f12, and then selecting the memory stick image ?

 

[phant0m2012]

i have downloaded Activate_Windows_Upgrade_after_Clean_Install.bat onto my desktop...

 

[Arc]

but how do i run the iso on my usb drive ? do i have to shut down my computer. restart pressing f12, and then selecting the memory stick image ?

Yes, if F12 is the boot menu key there.

 

[phant0m2012]

ok. cheers

Ok . Now I have my USB drive in . I rebooted to USB drive and have begun the installation , but now a box had appeared that says " the computer started using the windows installation disk . Remove the installation disk and restart your computer so that windows starts normally . Then insert the installation disk and restart the upgrade . Do not select custom advanced to perform upgrade . Costing advanced installs new copy of windows and deleted your profs. And settings ". What should I do now ... Should I click close and try and restart ( remembering that restart and shutdown haven't been working ) . Do I take out the USB drive ??? What is my next move ....

You just can`t catch a break can you ?

In order to start the install you have to boot from the usb drive.

You will have to re start the pc, why is that a problem ?
