    Hello everybody!
    Thanks for the welcome.
    I do not have often problems so I am afraid we will not see each other often :)

    Yes, I did download the ISO from that exact place. Did you try to pass it to USB and it worked for you?
    I had read about Rufus and was about to try it when I saw another one called Universal Extractor I think, and I realized that WinRar can be associated to ISO, so I just gave it a try and well, I could "Extract File" with WinRar to the USB.

    Unfortunately, I do not know why, it did not work out. I rebooted and chosen USB but not "operative system" was found on my portable USB drive (maybe because it is a Hard Drive and not a Flash USB?).

    So I burned the ISO on a CD. I did not want to waste a CD for that (also because it was my only one and I am extremely lazy for buying CD, as I do not use them anymore).
    It worked.
    My PC is clean. I mean, it was already clean. Comodo has only found a supposed trojan in a exe on the Avira folder, a bar installator. I suppose it is a false positive but I removed it anyway.

    Well, all those other options, are, many!

    I think I am fine for now.
    Just wanted to see if there was something which was not seen from Windows.
    But had not really reasons to worry, I mean, my PC is going fine.

    Cheers and thanks for the answers!
    Ben if I read this as is you are running two AV programs on the one machine?? - usually not recommended mate as they probably will conflict in some way. So I would if I were you run CIS or Avira not both:)

    Hello looked,

    How's the USB formatted?

    For now, see if the free program Rufus may work for you instead.

    Thanks Brink,
    problems started since I tried to upgrade from IE8 to IE9, now device manager doesn't show drives anymore so that might be the reason why the Micro$oft tool doesn't work.

    I checked Rufus already and found too much to read about it and too many options so I gave up, sorry I got a family to care about and not much time to play with the computer. Lol
    But I found wintobootic which fixed my problem, very very easy to use and efficient.
    It seems strange to me (maybe NOT) that the creator of the OS made a tool that failed while third party guys were able to find solutions that suit the users' needs!

    Hello John,

    It usually only takes a few minutes or so.

    If you're doing this on a DVD, then you might try again on a new unformatted DVD to see if that may be the issue.

    Do I have a bootable disk?


    I went to Heidoc for the iso (Win7 Premium x64 SP1 U) and "saved as" on DVD drive, then burned to (unformatted?) DVD-R disk once D/L was complete. Will this render a bootable disk? I'm headed in the direction of trying a clean install to replace an error-plagued OEM installation.

    The MS USB/DVD Tool for making a bootable disk installed but would not run (tried run as Admin) resulting in "CLR error: 80004005. The program will now terminate."

    I can't really tell ... I'm on a different computer since the problem one is running memtest86 right now. As I recall, Net Framework 4 stuff failed in the installation process and I never bothered to address it since I was having more pressing problems with browser and display adapter crashes.

    I do know all Net Framework through 3 are installed/updated.

    I take it I do NOT have a bootable iso disk since the DVD/USB Tool wasn't used in creating the disk?
