So, am i able to install my new w7 with daemon tools? I downloaded from This site ( the professional x86 version) I tought i had usb, but it seems i dont, so is this possible? Please answer
I am no expert and infact I have NEVER used Daemon Tools.. Now forgive me but this is just a image mounting tool, is it not ? Surely this needs Windows to mount an image. I can not imagine how windows could mount an image and install a new copy of itself. You have a machine without any USB slots ? What is it ?
Well i do have USB slots, but i don't have acces to and USB stick for a long time, so i tought if i could install it with Daemon Tools. But it seems like i can't. Thanks for replying anyways!
Make a 4GB partiton on the HDD, extract setup files from ISO to there, run setup from Sources folder for clean install, run setup from root for upgrade
Do you mean creating a bootable partition on the HDD with install files and installing to the same drive? Fu***** brilliant idea! I hope it works as that would mean the end of redundant media (FDD, CD/DVD, SD cards, USB HDD etc.) for installation. I gotta try it.... LOLOLOLOLO
Done did it and it works a charm. Problem occured when booting to Windows 7 and making Windows partition as active. The boot manager was still on the bootable install partition and I didn't really think to change it while within Windows 7. Obviously there was boot manager issues at next boot. lol Any quicker way to fix the boot issues than google. I have an Win 7 AIO OEM installer (with WinRE for x64 [thanks MDLF!]) that I use for work (which I used). Can't remember what bootmgr is used. Anyway; think I've found an aternative way to install Win 7 (at least) sans external medium. Thanks OP for bringing this up.... Coolest s*** I ever saw. Thanks MDLF. Word! Edit: Thanks for the link; quicker than google... "Preparing the partition to make it bootable Open the command prompt and run this: x: cd /boot bootsect /nt60 X: (x being your partition) " Edit: Above did not work. Looking for an easier way to move bootmgr within new install. Any help with this as I am but a lowly hardware geek with a twist of who the f*** cares.
