Make bootable iso from student d/l

Normally you get that error if you are running the 64 d/l setup on a 32 bit o/s.

Usually it is fine . Is there a file on your Desktop called expandedSetup?

If so, how big is it?

Finally on windows 7 ,

Is it possible to use the student copy on 2 machines? cause my brother wants to use it aswell, but he will have to pay full price which as you know is 70 odd quid in the UK.

Hi,

I have tried to do as explained on this post but I cant even get the expandedsetup from the digital river student download I got. I have the setup1.box and setup2.box but the other bit is called win7-p-retail-en-us-x86. I wanted to do a clean install from windows vista home premium.

Since cant get the expandedsetup folder, I cant do any of the other steps. I have downloaded the win 7 download from digital river about 5 times and still having some problem. I am so frustrated by all this!! Can any help/have any ideas???

thank you so much!

Yours is the 32-bit version so you should have no problem extracting the files. Simply double-click on win7-p-retail-en-us-x86.

You can use it to install 7 but he will need an equivalent product key as well

Ok, Thanks,

Don't suppose anyone knows of a program that allows me to unlock the extra 100gb or so on my HDD? its 250gb and only showing as 130, i used a program in XP called Partition Magic but it isn't working with Win7.

mr siw2
there is nothing on my desktop

please if u have another link for the latest win7 64bit
pls past it

Can I just say a big thank you to all you guys who spent time creating the solution and then advising us on how to tweak the process so that it worked.

I can confirm that by following the instructions posted here, I have succesfully installed the student version of 7 Pro x64 upgraded from XP x32.

Again - very many thanks.
