problems installing

[Handycam]

I burned the ISO file to a blank DVD disk, and I restart my computer but it goes back to vista, and doesn't prompt the 7 installation screen.. .

Have you changed the Bios setting so it boots from the DVD first?

I haven't, I'm trying to find out how to do that.. Care to elaborate?

When you restart hit del when prompted to enter the Bios, I have just found a tutorial on you tube that should explain it well for you.

I did that but when it tries to boot from CD it skips it like there is nothing there.

When you burned the ISO to the DVD did you actually use a program like PowerISO to burn it to the DVD or did you just save the ISO to the DVD?

Eah, no.

Any good free ones?

Wait, I think I got it... I'll post if I have any problems - I pretty much know what to do from here

Thanks

Good so far! LOVE it, it's way faster (IE Opening folders)..

Although some problems trying to bring back my old files from windows.old..

I lost all my firefox bookmarks, not sure how to bring them back (I have firefox on a disk that I backed up prior to win7)..

But thats no big deal. Sometimes its good to start over.

To bring back your bookmarks go to your folder settings and show hidden folders then go to your user name and you should see a folder called AppData then go to Roaming and you will find a folder called Mozilla, just replace that one with the folder in the same location from windows.old and all your bookmarks and settings, skins etc will be restored.

I am having the same problem that handycam was. I burned the iso to a dvd with roxio. After that didn't work I found the instructions to boot from a usb. I formatted my usb drive like the instructions said and tried to boot from that.
I continue to have the same problem. The computer tries to boot to it, but skips it like there is nothing there.
