How to make a bootable Windows 7 DVD?

I have all the files for Windows 7 in a folder on my desktop.  When I burn I can't boot from the DVD when I turn on my PC.  Otherwise, it works great.  I have a Vista DVD that can boot up.  What are the files on the Vista DVD that aren't in my Windows 7 folder?  The DVD of Windows 7 that I extracted the files from the boots very well.  It's only when I extracted the original in a folder files and then try and burn a second time to start than this does not work.

Can someone help me solve this problem?

Thank you.

  • Make a Bootable Windows CD/DVD 8.1?

    It's more annoying, I made the mistake of upgrading to Windows 8.1 immediately after getting my new laptop Windows 8 out of the box... I never thought that I would run into any of these issues.  I want to make a bootable CD or DVD, that's all I want to do, I read the other posts but they seem not to apply because I don't have the option "File recovery Windows 7" in point 8.1.  I don't have the EDD file to burn. at least is not that I can find.   I tried the recovery disc creator, but he wants a 16 GB flash drive!  I have a stack of blank discs and I want to just make a bootable media, meaning I've read some horror stories about people not being able to recover their machines.  I seriously have to do back at the factory Windows 8, just to make a boot disk?


    My overall plan when I started this was to completely wipe Windows 8 and put on Linux but I wanted to backup just incase that apparently, I need to spend more money just to save this thing, I had no problem dual-boot my machine windows 7 but this Windows 8 scares me.  Anyway my question is simply how the hell can I burn a boot / repair disk to the point 8.1?


    I have not tried the first option, but I tried the 2nd one. It took Microsoft, less than 24 hours to realize what I had done and they "solved the problem" in one of the automatic updates.  It gave me the option to install (free) 8.1 in the next hour, 2 h or 4 h. The ability to skip the upgrade was not an option!  It's a screen that pops up in the middle of something I did and there is no option to make the screen disappear; the Task Manager did not have an option to put an end to this task. I could not else consent to blackmail - the machine was useless, until I introduced. Fortunately, I have another machine that I can use and so far they didn't steal that one from me.

    Microsoft may be trying to protect computers against hackers, I get it, but as always, Congress learns after the fact, no good Act goes unpunished - unexpected consequences.

  • How to make a bootable windows xp cd?

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    It's basically the xp installation cd

    You can borrow one to try to fix the computer

    or buy it if you need to reinstall the operating system from scratch.

    also some computers that had xp pre-installed usually are prepared with the possibility of restoring the operating system without needing a xp boot / installation cd

    ========================================
    I know that your question refers to Windows Media Player but
    the free VLC Media Player can easily capture screen
    shots of the video reading course and no cropping is
    Mandatory.

    You can set it to save the screenshot to the folder of
    your choice in the format of your choice and all what you
    is press SHIFT + S.

  • How to make a copy of a DVD?

    I created a DVD of a video cassette (without using the PC).  I would now like to make a copy of this DVD (DVD - RW) on the PC.   I checked to make sure that the DVD plays, but on Windows Media Playewr, I don't see any easy to make a copy.  Appreciate any help.  Thank you, Steve

    First... just a suggestion... using a slow burn speed
    produces a more reliable copy.

    If you have software installed Nero should have
    an option for copying DVDs.

    Also, the following method can be your answer...

    The following freeware can create an ISO Image
    that allows to burn copies. Once you have the
    image created... you can use it to burn as many copies
    as you need.

    FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Download ImgBurn:
    http://www.Digital-Digest.com/software/download.php?sid=470&SSID=0&did=1
    (The download is: SetupImgBurn_2.5.5.0.exe)

    (During the installation there will be an option to install
    Shortcuts of UniBlue and the "Ask Toolbar"... you can
    you want to deselect those)

  • Make a bootable Windows 7 on macOS Sierra drive

    I recently tried to create a bootable USB to install windows 7 on my MacBook Air running Mac OS.

    I tried to use unetbootin to a player from the ISO file I have. Worked well, but I got a message at the end saying that the disc I created will not be able to boot on a mac. As said the program, when I tried to start up the USB, it wasn't there. I heard somewhere that you cannot start a windows on Mac OS installation disc up. Is there a workaround or a solution to this problem?

    (btw I can't use Boot Camp because now it only supports Windows 10 and more)

    Thank you very much

    Nick

    You cannot start a Mac with Windows without Boot Camp. You can create a Windows 7 virtual machine using VirtualBox (free), VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop.
