DL'd Win7, need a boot disc

[makken]

Hi guys, I just finished downloading the windows 7 installation. It came in two .box files. I've expanded everything and am trying to figure out how to put it on a bootable disc as I plan to do a clean reformat and install.

any ideas?

thanks

Convert it into an .iso, burn to disc, boot.

There are numerous iso programs around and while most are shareware, they do have a trial period of full functionality and will convert your files into an .iso for burning to DVD. Ultimate ISO, Power ISO are two.

I think Nero will do it too. Not sure about Roxio.

They tell you how to do it.

That's the steps I followed, works perfectly. Conveniently, even though it's "upgrade" media it just installed and activated on a freshly formatted drive without problems.

make sure you open a cmd prompt (black box) and enter all the syntax there. then hit enter.
