You have 32-Bit. You bought 64-Bit.
Can't install Windows 7.
So, as I am a computing university student we get access to any Microsofts products for free.
I downloaded Windows 7 (.iso) and burned it to a disk, the only thing is when I boot my PC up with DVD-RW set as first boot priority in the BIOS, the PC just doesn't pick anything up!
I tried installing it through my current OS and I get this...

Any ideas how I can get this dam thing installed?
I used Magic ISO to burn the disk.

Did you an .iso burning software to make the dvd or did you simply drag the .iso file onto the dvd and burn?
In order to make the 7 dvd, you will need a program such as Active ISO to burn the file correctly onto the dvd.
Edit: Nvm, didn't see below pic that you used Magic ISO.

Make sure to set the correct DVD drivd. I had a similar issue with a Shuttle HTPC build. I set the first boot device as DVD/CD-ROM. But after numberous reboots without the disk being picked up and booting, I went back into the bios. I found I had to set the actual DVD drive. What I mean by this is instead of setting DVD/CD-ROM, I setLLG-210S drive (something like that), which was the actual DVD drive as recognized by the bios.
So go back into your bios and see if there is another boot option for the first device.

If you look at his screen shot, the ISO image seems to have been burned correctly (look at the DVD drive).

He has a 64 bit CPU btw so it doesn't matter if he runs it. Just make sure you made an ISO disc and not just copied the file to the disc. |
