Install Wind7 from .iso

[pedronaranjito]

So, i got a .iso file with official Windows 7, but i dont know how to install it in my new pc. I dont know if i should install it from USB drive or with a DVD, and dont know how to do it

You could just use an emulator like Daemon Tools Lite. http://www.daemon-tools.cc/products/dtLite

The problem is that i'm already using daemon tools but i cant access to the files in the .iso

[pedronaranjito]

Should i burn the .iso in a DVD, and the do the work?

Mount the iso. It should show up as a disk in Computer.

I mount it, but it just doesnt appear as a disk in computer. It doesnt let me "explore" it

Can't you just right click it and 'Run'?

It seems like you might have a bad iso.

Before the install you need to burn the iso to a dvd. Once it's burnt to a dvd then you boot to that disk and the install should start. Lets us know how it went.

dude all you need to do is get a 8GB flash drive and right click the ISO extract all the files to the USB. then you can boot from the USB. easy stuff

DO NOT USE A NEW VERSION OF DAEMON TOOLS. It has malicous software. Shame, good program. 

Go to oldversion.com and get the an earlier daemon tools lite, like 4.11

 

Here's how to make a bootable USB with the iso. 

 

Run command prompt as admin.

 

Then

diskpartlist disk

look at the sizes and note the one that is your flash drive

select disk [number of your flash drive]cleancreate partition primary select part 1 activeformat fs=ntfs quickassignexit

use Daemon tools to mount the iso. Not ethe drive letter. I'll call it X in my example. Also note the flash drive's new letter. I'll call my example Y

Back to command prompt

X: cd bootcd bootbootsect.exe /nt60 Y:

Now open the mounted iso and copy the contents to the flash drive

Done!

You can use this for storage too as long as you don't delete files. If you wish to delete files, you can make a windows installer again simply by copying the cd/iso contents to it from any version of windows, vista and up.
