Cant burn windows 7 on cd only dvd? -

cant burn windows 7 on cd only dvd?

You can t split the ISO for install with Windows 7 Beta, and there isn t a CD install release. Are you sure there isn t an option in the bios to boot from the USB drive?

You cant burn windows 7 beta on 1 single cd because the file is at least 2.5gb. A cd only will hold 700mb of space. To do this you will need a program that can successfully split up the iso image file. Since windows requires to install certian files in a certian order, most likely 3 1/2 cd s wont be able to cut it. Thats why you are supposed to burn it to a dvd. All of the files can be accessed flawlessly.

Windows 7 is around 3.2 GB, but usual CD media can hold only 700 MB. Thats why u cant write it on a single CD. But there r some applications, that will help u to make multi instalation CDs. pls take a look at this, http://forums.cnet.com/5208-19411_102-0....

Hi combatvicjason, My name’s Ron. I’m a member of the Windows Outreach Team. I thought I’d just drop by and lay a few links out there that might be able to help you out. I know others have already established that you can’t burn the ISO file for Windows 7 Beta onto a CD, so we’ll leave that one. You might want to check out the FAQ and installation guide for a better understanding of what you’re going up against when installing the Beta. You can access them here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows... Good luck! Cheers, Ron Windows Outreach Team

You are correct, windows 7 cannot be burnt to a cd, cd s have a maximum capacity of 700 mb, whereas windows 7 is a little over 3000mb. Also, burning a .iso requires a program (such as alcohol120%). Good luck

Take a look at these Windows 7 Beta installation instructions. Step #2 gives links to free downloads that will help you burn the ISO file. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows... Cheers, Jeff Windows Outreach Team

What do you mean a CD only DVD? Are you trying to burn the 3GB .iso file to a 700MB CD? You need special software that will burn the image of the .iso file to a DVD, not CD.

Maybe because Windows 7 is over 700MB.
