Copying Upgrade Disk

[Huzzah1981]

Hello all,
First off, hopefully everyone's not too "Windows 7 student upgrade" questioned out (I've been lurking and reading for a while)... I sort of have one more, which I haven't seen addressed here or elsewhere.

My download and installation of Windows 7 worked just fine, but I neglected to create/burn an ISO boot disk before running the upgrade. I ran a backup and created a system disk DVD in Windows 7, but I've been told that's different than a boot disk and I should make one of those too.

My question is, can I just burn a friends copy of the Windows 7 Upgrade DVD and if so, how? (again, 7 is already installed on my computer and running great...)

Many thanks for any and all help.

Just Copy his/her DVD...

The Windows Disc has no protections on it so it really is that simple

If they only have an ISO...and they are running Windows 7...it gets even simpler. Right-click the ISO->Burn Image to Disc. Windows 7 will burn the disc and also make it bootable at the same time

If XP/Vista that I would use PowerISO, UltraISO, MagicISO, etc to do the burn...just make sure that they are set to "Make the disc bootable"
