Is this the final before the final?

DrNip 05-05-2009 06:09 AM

It appears to be so as there is talk of it being released in August. I was very happy with the beta version and I am sure I will be with this rc version.

Jeffro64 05-05-2009 06:14 AM

I saw that August release somewhere too but also saw that this RC was gonna be good for about a year until sometime in 2010. That's kinda strange for MS to let people chug along for free after the final release is in stores.

IMGBURN to burn ISO (Simply)
 
Download and install IMGBURN----> ImgBurn
#1 - Download the Windows 7 Beta 1 .ISO file!
Well duh! Save it somewhere easy to get to (like your desktop).
#2 - Download and install ImgBurn
http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/win7_burn_to_dvd_01.pngRather that try muddling through with burning the .ISO file with whatever tools you might already have installed, download ImgBurn and use that. That way we’re all on the same page!
#3 - Burn the .ISO file to DVD
OK, pop a blank DVD into your DVD writer drive (for now I’m assuming that you actually have a DVD writer, if you don’t I’ll show you something else you can do in a moment). With that done, fire up ImgBurn. Select Write image file to disc.

Point the Source to the .ISO file you downloaded and then click on the big button at the bottom-left of the window to kick off the disc writing process.

And then after a short wait, you’re done!
http://i.zdnet.com/blogs/win7_burn_to_dvd_04.png
Now you’ve successfully burned the .ISO file to the DVD … congratulations!
#4 - Use the DVD
Make sure you have a partition available for Win 7 on your hdd and run the dvd from windows to install.

Win 7 32bit bugged out on me and fatal errors so i installed 64bit and all is well so far on Rogue's pc.

Rogue210 06-14-2009 03:26 PM

kool thanks man :D

Jeffro64 06-14-2009 04:15 PM

Or... If you have Image Burn installed already just locate the .iso file and double click on it and when Image Burn comes up hit the burn button. :D

Kal-EL 06-14-2009 04:31 PM

Jeffro, thx bro, you can install from within xp or you can install from boot optical drive.

@Rogue, sry Chica, Win 7 took a dump on me while i was moving some install files around for benchmarking. Its o.k. tho cuz I think its good for you to learn how to unfraq an operating system and install shiznit ur damself :D

Included is the OCA/OS and the WIN7 32bit and64bit iso's.

Rig is ready for pickup or drop off, lemme know :cool2:

I was just being funny bro.... all those steps you posted for burning a disk with image burn, the humor in them cracked me up so I had to add to it. :D

That was pretty good bro, have you been taking night humor classes? :rofl

Jeffro64 06-14-2009 04:40 PM

Nah... i'm just full of it most of the time.

RC1 works pretty good, but Vista always worked really well for me too possibly even better.

7201 has been out for awhile now too.
