Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit - how do I make an ISO from this download?

smr · 29 Mar 2010 at 22:30

Hi all,

This evening I bought Ultimate from one of those discounted 4student websites and I have the download - files - one Setup1.box - Setup2.box and an exe...

I've found a website with a guide on how to do it and don't really mind doing it too much but I just wondered if there is an easier way?

This is the guide on it.

the fact that I have one blank dvd left and judging by the comments it doesn't exactly inspire one with the greatest of confidence :\

If you have a spare USB stick when you have created the iso you could use http://www.softpedia.com/downloadTag/Win2flash to then make a bootable USB key.

Thanks... although I've done this already now but have another problem...

When I try and boot off the USB stick it says 'a disk read error occured'...

the usb stick is set as first boot device and also ahead of my hdd in boot device priority..

any ideas?
