creating a Windows 7 .iso image

I want to create a Windows 7 .iso image, so I can load it on a USB key.  I have Windows 7 currently on my computer, I have the Windows 7 upgrade disk that I bought at retail.  If I had downloaded Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store I could have downloaded the iso file - is it possible now to create this iso file or my drive upgrade or my Windows 7 system load?

One of the things that the OP asked was an iso of the loaded image.

I him have not tried, but if I plug my USB flash drive before you begin to "Create a system image", is one of the options shown in the drop-down list as to where I can save the iso.

But when you make a Windows 7 system image it does not create an ISO file. ISO is an image of a CD or DVD and not the same thing as a system. While both use the word 'image', they are very different.

To make a bootable flash drive to install Windows 7, which is what he wants, you must copy the installation DVD.

Copy/imaging system installed will not work, but it allows you to restore Windows 7 in its current state instead of install Windows 7.

    A few thoughts... good luck...

    It might be useful if you set DVD Maker 16:9 before you import
    the source files. If this does not help... you could try to prepare the
    project in Windows Live Movie Maker (choice of widescreen).

    The aspect ratio seems to work in creation of DVD so better the
    video source is in the. WMV format.

  • Re: Satellite L300-1BV - create your recovery disc ISO images

    I wondered about this.
    Could make my recovery disc ISO images, I know I could just make a few extra copies, but I am learning to create ISO images.
    But I was a little worried about what would happen when I put a disc in the drive...

    This along with the recovery image is a bit complicated, and something like this is not possible.
    All you can do is create recovery DVDs using Toshiba recovery disc creator or directly start the HARD drive recovery using recovery Toshiba (F8) option.

    You can do with it what you want but how you want to start the installation later?
    Sorry, but I think that it will not work.

  • Need help finding a disc of Windows 7 ISO image for my lenovo sl510

    I bought a lenovo sl510 ThinkPads that was running windows 7 pro. I decided to upgrade to windows 10 and now I have problems with my system. Driver Bluetooth installs and a few other issues, including late development. He came with a boot disc and I was not able to switch back because of missing files. I have the key but need to do a clean install and start over. Guessing that I need the drive windows 7 image pro to do. Any help would greatly be apprectiated. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the info. And what you ended up doing was a great idea. It seems that many people have had the same problem, I'll have after the upgrade. For some reason any Microsoft has made sure the windows 10 operating system installs and hides the files needed to return to the original operating system. Just my opinion of coarse. Well, after countless hours to a dead end, I paid 45 bucks for lenovo for a recovery disc. Decided it was my easiest way to make sure that all my programs and drivers were already there. I'm looking forward to our days. Laughing out loud. Thanks for the tips.

  • Reinstall Windows 7 using a USB Flash drive and an ISO image

    My laptop is not an optical disc drive in order to reinstall Windows, I had to rely on the USB that I have. I downloaded an ISO image of the operating system on the Microsoft site and created a bootable USB stick using the xcopy command in command prompt. When I restarted the system and chose the USB as a boot device, nothing happened for half an hour. Then I had to reboot the PC somehow and it booted normally. Since he did not work once again, I downloaded the Windows 7 USB DVD download tool. But even the tool cannot complete the writing process, even after several attempts. So as a last attempt, I opened the folder where I had extracted all the files and ran StartCD.exe but it terminated immediately by posting "too big for memory. (BTW, I use a 8 GB flash drive) What should I do to fix this?

    Use Rufus:

    The USB key must be formatted in FAT32 and use the GPT partitioning scheme. To do this, you must use Rufus, a small tool that you can download for free.

    After installing Rufus:

    • Launch it
    • Select the ISO Image
    • Point to the file ISO for Windows 10
    • Check create a disk bootable using
    • Select GPT partitioning to EUFI firmware as the Partition scheme
    • Choose FAT32 NOT NTFS as file system
    • Make sure that your USB in the device list
    • Click Start
    • Close when you are finished
  • Problems Burning ISO image Windows 10 on my new laptop to use on an old.

    I'm burning my copy of the image ISO of the download of MS windows 10 earlier today.  I stored the files windows 10 initially on USB.  then I used the tool to create a dvd disc for installation later on my HP 15 currently running windows 8.1.  I have no reason to upgrade now on my HP machine because I finally got past this huge problem I had with the update of security very great for 8.1 - or at least for the moment I have.  But I think that I need the image Iso to recover my Dell Inspiron 14 crashed, which has windows 7 Home premium and a pretty big OS problem that I have any solution online, I can find with no real possibility to recover.  I managed to start in safe mode, but there are nomore rstor oingts and checking disk Startup Repair is unable to complete or correct the errors.  That's why I put it through a factory restore/reset and I sat it here now in the living room, on the screen of advanced recovery and I thought that the next step is to change windows 10 and use the image recorder to make the ISO boot dell image and install the windows 10.  But now my HP with 8.1 gives me an error message saying: he can't burn the image to the blank DVD R I put in to burn the image on.  the error code is Ox8007045d.  I have two questions... first how to solve this error and the second will be this plan I have to get my other computer running work?

    To fix a specific version of Windows, you must have the disk of resettlement for this particular version. A disc of Windows 10 cannot repair Windows 7 or Windows 8.1

    It is possible that you have downloaded a corrupted copy of Windows 10. I suggest that you try to download the. ISO using the tool of creation of media:

  • Hi How can I install windows 8 using an iso image

    What should I do to install windows 8 to from an iso image and put it on a flash drive thank you

    Hi Reynardo,

    I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:

    1. You try to perform a clean installation or upgrade of Windows?
    2. Which Windows operating system is installed on the computer?

    You must download the ISO from Microsoft and you must burn the ISO on DVD or USB to be able to install Windows 8 on your machine. You need an earlier version of the Windows operating system to install Windows 8.

    If you have purchased an upgrade key.  Check out the link on how to upgrade from Windows 8 by using the upgrade key: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only.

    See also the suggestion provided by Andre Da Costa: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-windows_install/instructions-how-to-create-a-iso-for-windows-81/85ddf565-0b4f-4867-a926-6af73f5eb4e9

    You can perform a new installation of Windows 8.1 or Windows 8 using the installation media, such as a DVD or USB flash drive. You need not a previous version of Windows installed on your PC to perform a clean Windows 8.1 installation, but you do it for Windows 8. If your PC does not have a version of Windows already installed, you need to install an earlier version of Windows or buy Windows 8.1 or a System Builder of Windows 8 version from a local retailer if it is available in your country or region.

    On what computer operating system is your first items 11 running?

    There's only burn to: ISO Image (25 GB) and the ISO Image (50 GB) only in the first 13 items version.

    In first items 11 and 12 Windows, you will need to just burn: Blu - Ray (not burn on file or other) disc.

    It is possible to obtain an ISO Image first elements 11 in conjunction with the phantom burner, and I wrote about it.

    The foregoing applies to version 11 and such as defined in the blog post.

  • How to download and access ISO image Base of Windows OS

    Hello

    I'm new to vmware. I started building a Virtual Appliance using Studio of VM. It requires an ISO image of the Base OS of Windows to be accessible from the virtual appliance VM Studio.

    To get this downloaded ISO, I used vSphere Client and traveled the "data store" in the store of the Studio VM data, created a directory called vmiso and downloaded the Windows 2008 ISO server to this directory. Now, how is this directory accessible from the console of Ubuntu? What is the path of the URL of this ISO file?

    Thank you.

    1. you can copy Windows 2008 ISO server in VMware Studio using winscp.exe or Filezilla.exe.

    2. you can copy the ISO ESX in VMware Studio Server using the scp command.

    SCP Windows.iso root@VMwareStudioIP:/opt/vmware/www/ISV/ISO/

    This is the path in VMware Studio, where you suppose to copy the ISO file.

    / opt/vmware/www/ISV/ISO /.

    AlterNet is, if you have NFS server in your environment, and then copy the ISO in Windows 2008 Server to the NFS server and mount the server NFS VMware Studio and softlink ISO as follows. This way you can save the space in the Studio.

    1. mkdir/ISO-Server.

    2. Mount-t nfs IPNFSServer: / ISO_SERVER/ISO-Server.

    3. / opt/vmware/www/ISV/ISO CD.

    4. ln s/ISO-Server/Windows.iso.

    After that, while building the WILL, VMware Studio will be pick-up ISO automatically from this path.

    Hi all.

I'm trying to use Boot Camp to install Windows 10, how ever when I load the Boot Camp, he goes to the option to partition disk and wonder where the ISO file is located, but it never gives me the ability to create a Windows ISO on my USB key as did previous versions of Boot Camp.

Please use an ISO for 64-bit Windows 8 or later installation file. "I get it despite trying everything I have or do.

    My version of boot Camp is Version 6.0.1 (522)
