Making a bootable windows 7 disk

[Qrox]

I got a copy of the evaluation version of Windows 7 a couple of weeks ago from a friend, but I have not had the time to try and install it yet. Today I decided to take it for a test drive... sigh. My friend claims that the disk was a bootable disk but I do not get the option of booting from the disk (checked the bios already). I copied the disk from him using Nero 7 Essentials (Copy Dvd). Think I might have buggered it up there. Can anyone help me to create a bootable disk from the disk that I wrote or give me a way to boot the disk as it is? Any help will be appreciated.

There should be an option to "Burn Image" in the Nero Express options.

My guess is that you simply took the iso and dumped it onto the disk. If you went and checked, all you'd see is the single ISO file.

No. It's a bunch of files on the disk. I made a exact copy of the disk my friend gave me

Next thing, I don't know if your mobo will have it (mine does, it's a Gigabyte) where you press F12 at the POST screen to choose what you boot off of.

If you have that, give it a try?

Asus motherboards also have that feature. Unfortuanatly it didn't work.

Nevermind. Got it working. Used vLite to make a bootable disk
