Bootable Windows 8 DVD
Will do the ISO upgrade Win8 32bit from MS. I have read that it is
possible to create a bootable Win8 DVD from the iso. Has anybody successfully done this and upgraded their Win7 Pro from the bootable DVD? Also would appreciate any URLs to the instructions you followed to create the bootable Win8 DVD. -- Bill Brought to you from Anchorage, Alaska. |

With Nero 6 you check the little box that says: "Make Bootable CD" |

Also would appreciate any URLs to the instructions you followed to create the bootable Win8 DVD. Use the ISO file with any CD/DVD burning program that will make a bootable DVD. Search for "make a bootable DVD with my choice of burner software". |

In my case, 64-bit. I burned it to DVD with the option "Burn ISO image" in CDBurnerXP, a free program. That's all the instruction you need... -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

Or, you can use a separate program if you want. And to complete the feature set, I found a "mount" option for ISO9660 files, in Windows 8. So no need for clumsy third party mounter options any more. What I can't tell you, is whether all content is handled transparently or not. I don't have enough media samples here, to test for that. It mounted my one test DVD (non-commercial) like it was a hard drive or something. Paul |

Also would appreciate any URLs to the instructions you followed to create the bootable Win8 DVD. http://imgburn.com - JUST DO IT! Download & install. Always used for burning / copying Windows 7 DVDs with default settings. Always worked. Works for Windows 8 too. ImgBurn is free software. Also you can create bootable USB stick. Really! It's even approved by Microsoft. I in 2012 preferred installation from USB. If you are still interested, I can even find the exact link. -- Evgenii Sputnik +79134596180 We should create misc.phone.mobile.android newsgroup.... |

Paul I'm so used to downloading and using the 3rd party tools that it never occurred to me to look within Windows 7 (or 8) for those capabilities. Thanks for the homework assignment, Teach :-) OK, first part of the assignment: I right-clicked on an ISO file on this Windows 7 computer and found "Windows Disc Image Burner" listed under "Open with". Wowee! There is a Windows 8 computer, but it's in another room and it's not on. Lazy man here won't look today. Maybe next year... -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

OK, I did it this year :-) I did the second test on this machine using the Windows 8 Release Preview in VMware. It took me a long time to get there because I screwed up and got into an infinite loop of mistakes :-) 1. Windows 8 indeed will mount an ISO as a virtual DVD or CD. 2. If I try to mount a second ISO, it mounts under a new drive letter and leaves the first one intact. 3. If I select burn an ISO to disk, W8 enters a dialog to do that. I assume it will work, but I canceled it instead of trying to actually burn a disk. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

So I guess I have to keep ImgBurn or CDBurnerXp :-) But it looks like I won't need Virtual CloneDrive in Win 8. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |
