Windows 7 questions

A few days ago I downloaded a windows 7 from a private torrent site, but then I noticed that it said that you must install it onto a UN partitioned hard drive. So I decided to download another version, because I want to be able to have a partition so that I could have a back up disc. So I am downloading windows 7 ultimate x64 from http://www.google.com?t=3982896&highlight=
I was wondering, will I be able to install this version on a partitioned disc? or do all versions of windows 7 need a unpartitioned disc? (I have one big hard drive which has a c drive and d drive on it)
Another problem is that my DVD drive is broken, so could I install windows 7 from a USB stick? How exactly do I copy the ISO from the download, into a USB stick, to make it boot able so that everything works? If someone can please give me simple answers or instructions, I would be very grateful
Answer #1
I don’t know about the USB but what you can do is make a partition. Using a
program then use another program to open the iso like virtual disk or something like that….
Like daemon tools
Answer #2
i think you can use nero to burn the .iso into the flash drive.
you do all the partation during the installation.
Answer #3
i think you can use nero to burn the .iso into the flash drive.
you do all the partation during the installation.
How exactly do I burn it with nero onto a USB? There are many options in Nero and I don’t know what to press, I have nero express and burning rom.
You say that I make partitions during the installation or something? Does that mean that I can keep my previous partitions which I have now using windows XP? So that windows 7 will format one of them but leave the other? or will it format everything and ask me if I want to make new partitions?
Sorry I am asking to so much detail, it is just that installing windows is the most complicated delicate thing there is on a computer, and I don’t want to delete all my backup by accident or something.
Again, thanks for the help and replys
