ta…..

If you download the Ultimate edition above, copy it to a USB stick using the official tool, then delete the ‘ei.cfg’ file from the USB stick – it will let you choose what edition you want to install. You still need to match the edition to your keycode, but it saves downloading them all separately.

Official mirror is Digital River.

Thanks for the tip deft, I have two installations to do with different versions (both legit).

Good info that.

I will be building another pooter soon.

Ok….so I have downloaded a .iso file onto a dvd…What next?
I’m confused….

did you make the image into DVD or copy it?
If you made the image then boot from DVD and follow the prompts.

When your sorted do a backup

I would but ive imposed on him enough recently!

Did you just copy the iso file to DVD? The Iso needs to be burnt to disk and not just copied. If you prefer to use a DVD download Imgburn and use the option ‘write image to disk’.

Personally I always extract the iso to a usb stick and install from there. You need to prepare the USB stick first. Some easy instructions on this link.

As you have an iso file, I wouldn’t do step 5 and onwards. Instead, once you’ve exited diskpart. Just right click on your iso file and extract to the usb stick.

Don’t forget to change your boot options in the bios to boot from usb.

Nah, it’s sunday night here and he has all day! If your not sure then local help is always better 🙂

From the original link you were given:

http://www.imgburn.com/

Just burn the ISO image using that software and it will create the disc.

Do not just copy the Iso image across to a dvd.

Thanks chaps….will have ago at that….

+1 for imgburn, great little bit of software.
