This is how I would do it:
1) Download Poweriso, http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm 2) After you've downloaded it (AND INSTALLED! (Perhaps even rebooted is required, if so, do it.) ), go to the folder, right click AIO.iso 3) Select Poweriso (Should be there) > set the number of units (Rought translation) > Select 1 units (If it's not already set.) 4) Right click again > Poweriso > Mount (name).iso 5) Go to your computer file (Where you can see C:, D: etc) 6) You should see a CD-unit icon besides your DVD unit (If you have one) 7) Double click on it (The AIO.iso) 8) Should now start setup.exe, Install etc.
Or:
7) Right click on the AIO.iso, > Open (The .ISO should now open) 8) Find Setup.exe, or whatever you could use inside of it.
(There is no part where you actually need to open the actual Poweriso program, Just right click > mount and stuff)
Instruction nr. 7 & 8 is not clear, because I didn't personally DL it so I can't make a complete list of how to install it, Sorry, However after this you should get the basic install window to open, and you should be able to make the rest out.
Remember, this is with Poweriso which I personally use, and tend to work, There is aswell Daemon tools and Alcohol 120% which I havn't tried out myself.
Be advised, Alcohol 120% will crash Windows Vista if you're planning on installing it. (I learned this the hard way when I had Vista. /:) (They might have patched this tho)
(Formatting will probably fail, Sorry i'm new to Reddit formatting.)
Also, notice that the description of the torrent says it requires no crack / keygen etc, So you're lucky. If you would need a crack you would replace the game launch file (like sims.exe), You can get more information relating this by googling!
any reason you are installing XP? It is way past the EOL and has tons of security issues at this point.
I have never tried to make a XP bootable USB, but google turns up a lot of results.

Quad channel is much faster than dual channel for ram-heavy applications.
As long as your laptop has a disk drive, yes. How-to link
It has a slightly higher factory overclock and a better cooler.
Like /u/codytheking typed, what did you use to make your USB. Here is a good step by step from PowerISO. This install, which I have used over a hundred times, doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. It will do the standard XP hard drive prep.
How did you create the bootable USB? Maybe the iso itself is corrupt.
Try this.
Download the iso again from this link.
Ensure that you do not have spaces in the File Name of iso if you rename it.
Use Power ISO to create a bootable USB. Go to Tools > Create Bootable USB drive and follow the instructions.
Ensure that you set the mode to AHCI in BIOS when installing Windows.
Let me know how it goes.
You will need to create a bootable USB. Dowenload Power ISO. Go to tools > create bootable USB drive and follow the instructions.
Now in your BIOS set the first boot device as your USB drive, boot into it and do the installation of windows.
A portable HDD is also fine. I use a 40GB HDD from an old laptop which I have converted to an external by adding a casing to it.
You can try creating the bootable media using Power ISO. Go to tools > create bootable USB. remember that all contents of the ext HDD will be erased.
There are various methods/tools to do this. One of them and perhaps the easiest is -
Download and run Power ISO (trial version is fine). Click on Tools > Create bootable USB drive. Point it to the W7 iso and follow the onscreen instructions.
Salut la baguette haha.
So what is your question exactly? Yes it's easy to format a usb key to make it bootable with windows 8 on it. I use PowerISO, it's free :)
Instructions for their website http://www.poweriso.com/tutorials/how-to-make-win7-bootable-usb-drive.htm
"Step1: Create Bootable USB Drive: 1.Start PowerISO (v4.8 or newer version, download here). 2.Insert the USB drive you intend to boot from. 3.Choose the menu "Tools > Create Bootable USB Drive". The "Create Bootable USB Drive" dialog will popup. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 / 8 operating system, you need confirm the UAC dialog to continue. 4.In "Create Bootable USB Drive" dialog, click "..." button to open the iso file of Windows 7 or Windows 8. 1.Select the correct USB drive from the "Destination USB Drive" list if multiple USB drives are connected to the computer. 2.Choose the proper writing method. "USB-HDD" is recommended. 3.Click "Start" button to start creating windows 7 / 8 bootable USB drive.
If no errors occurred in the above process, you should now be all set to setup Windows 7 / 8 from USB drive!"
While I'm not aware of Dreamspark, I assume that you are able to download a Windows 8 ISO and a valid product key (or maybe it does not require activation, I do not know). These are the steps you should follow
Download Win8 ISO on your Win 7 PC.
Download and install trial version of Power ISO. Go to Tools and select 'create a bootable USB' and follow on screen instructions. You will now have a bootable win 8 USB.
Copy your data files from Win7 PC to ext HDD.
Unplug your Win7 HDD and connect the new SSD.
Change boot order in BIOS to boot from USB and install Win8 on SSD.
Reconnect your Win7 HDD and format it.
Simply copying the files to USB will not work. The USB needs to be made bootable. Create it using the microsoft tool as recommnded by u/slacker87. Alternatively, you can use the trial version of Power ISO, select tools and click on 'create bootable USB'. Then follow the onscreen instructions.
I'be used poweriso for a couple years now. I've never tried burning with (don't even know if you can, but it works flawlessly for just mounting .
That said imgburn is also good (i've used it on occasion and never had a problem I couldn't quickly resolve. Poweriso is just my mounted of choice.
Okay so I'm guessing then you've tried to extract and either they wouldn't or the files that were extracted weren't executable?
Mount them and then run the mounted image to either install or run.
Iso files are cd images. Poweriso is a good free program to help you deal with them. You can either create a virtual drive in Poweriso, and mount the image to that drive, which will then function just like a cd in a real drive, or you can use it to burn the images to actual disks that you can mount in the ordinary way in a real drive.
I hope this helps. I'm a better teccy than teacher.
It means you need a program to load the .iso files on. I usually use PowerISO for that purpose. You load part1 on the drive and go into the drive and start the setup. After that it will read all other parts and install the game.
From another asking the same question.
“My Solidworks is working buttery smooth....
1.Install Parallels
2.Install Windows ISO file by signing up for the windows insider preview program
3.Go and download this redistribution from the Microsoft website which is important to run graphic intense stuff I guess [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0]
4.You have to switch to Dev mode in order to receive an update that includes x86 emulation on ARM64 versions
5.Then install DirectX but it's no longer available because it is inbuilt in the ISO file from the time I am writing this.
6.You will have an iso file that will show you mounting problem and asks you to mount it on a virtual cd....So install a software from http://www.poweriso.com/download.php
7.Now open it with that software and can extract it anywhere...You have the setup now
8.Now go and enjoy also”
From a old ngemu forum post, haven't tried but I assume still works the same:
I've tried a couple times in the past to make an audio CD image to use with Vib Ribbon, but hadn't succeeded in finding a reasonably simple way to turn some MP3 files into a CD image (without having to resort to things like burning a physical CDR, then make an image from that).
The release of Vib Ribbon on PSN today inspired me to try again, and I've found a pretty quick, easy way to do it. I thought I'd share that here.
You'll need PowerISO (http://www.poweriso.com/). It's a paid app, but they do have a trial version that limits you to 300MB CDs (which will just limit how many songs you can put on your CD image).
- Start PowerISO.
- From the dropdown arrow by "New", select "Audio CD".
- Drag some MP3 files onto the app.
- Click "Save", and choose a filename and where to save (the same folder as your Vib Ribbon ISO is a good choice). It'll save a .bin and a .cue file.
- You can now close PowerISO.
- Run ePSXe, and run your Vib Ribbon ISO as usual.
- In the game, choose to play with your own CD. It'll prompt you to insert your music CD.
- Escape to the ePSXe menu, and select File->Change Disc->ISO.
- Select the .bin or .cue file (either will work) you saved in step 4.
- Have fun! 📷
It was step 4 that used to trip me up. I kept looking for some way to write to an image file (instead of a CDR). I didn't realize I could just save in PowerISO, and it would save in bin/cue format.
I recently downloaded power iso on my computer and 5 minutes later my computer downloaded something I cant remember and then 2 minutes later it installed an antivirus the place I installed power iso was here: http://www.poweriso.com/download.php was it power iso that downloaded them? should I be concerned?
You have to install 3rd part media management tool like PowerIso, and in the tools tab simply select "Create bootable usb drive"
link for Power-iso: http://www.poweriso.com/download.php
use power iso too for extract .iso file from dvd
And when you insert usb, make sure you'll try all the usb ports (usb 3.0 is evil in this case)
thank you i will def be buying this then, Any tips on assembling the pc? Basic knowledge etc? i already got windows 7 on a usb boot using this guide http://www.poweriso.com/tutorials/how-to-make-win7-bootable-usb-drive.htm. And i plan to buy a key for 20$. And what about installing drivers afterwards? Do i just instal 1070 drivers or does the gigabyte have different drivers?
okay... so I gave this tutorial a try (http://www.poweriso.com/tutorials/how-to-create-win7-installation-disc.htm ) and when I slapped the disk into my desktop I got the following error; CDBOOT: Couldn't find BOOTMGR
No but a dmg is basically just an ISO in a container. Let me check real quick.
Edit: Try and convert it using PowerISO (http://www.poweriso.com/tutorials/convert-dmg-to-iso.htm) and see if that helps. I'm pretty sure you don't need to pay for it to make the conversion.
~~Should have worked. Try creating it again using trial version of Power ISO (Tools > Create Bootable USB). Ensure that the ISO's file name does not have spaces in it, as it can 'sometimes' create problems.~~
EDIT: Turn on legacy mode as suggested by /u/Drivingmecrazeh
Does the file name for the ISO have spaces in it? Sometimes these programs do not like those spaces. If so try renaming the file.
If that does not work, use Power ISO to create the bootable USB (Trial version is fine). Go to Tools > Create bootable USB and follow the instructions.
If you still get problems, you may need to re-download the iso file.
Hello sir,
ISO files need to be mounted to a virtual drive.
If you have Windows 8 you can do this by right-clicking on the ISO file in Windows Explorer and selecting the 'Mount' option:
http://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-95-79-metablogapi/6237.image_5F00_0D97729A.png
After mounting it, you will find a virtual DVD drive when you open 'Your computer' (C:).
If you don't have Windows 8 or you want something other than the standard mounting tool, you could try using software like PowerISO to mount an ISO file: http://www.poweriso.com/
Good luck !
hi, idk what are you trying to do i used PowerISO and made bootable usb 8gb
there is even tutorial on their website (you can use trial version)
here is the link: http://www.poweriso.com/tutorials/how-to-make-win7-bootable-usb-drive.htm
I've had this on a couple of ISO images that are not in the format that Windows 8 expects (I, like others in this thread, didn't realise there were different formats). I downloaded a copy of PowerISO which allowed me to translate the .iso file format to a version which Windows was happy to mount correctly. There are probably other applications that will do the same (let Google be your friend).
Rufus is essentially an iso..
Here's what you'll need: - http://www.poweriso.com/
Click create media.. and then download the bit version you need along with the language.. Choose iso..
Once it's done.. right click and click on poweriso..
Once that's done, drag it to your 4gb or above usb..
Pretty easy actually and you do not risk having a coaster if there is an error in creating the DVD.
Download a trial version of Power ISO. Install. Go to Tools > Create Bootable USB and follow the instructions. That's it really. Remember that the USB stick will be completely wiped clean when you do this. So have it backed up if you have any important data on it.
While booting from the USB, set the boot order priority to USB first and ensure that 'Legacy boot' is enabled in BIOS otherwise the stick will not be able to boot.
Try creating bootable USB using Power ISO. Go to Options > Create Bootable USB and follow the instructions. Ensure that the file name of the ISO does not have any spaces in it.
There are various methods for creating a bootable USB. I find this to be the easiest - download and install Power ISO. Go to Tools > Create Bootable USB drive and follow the instructions. Simply dragging and dropping the iso to USB will not work.
You physically copy whatever folders/files you want to retain. So whatever you copy will be backed up. Whatever you do not will be gone.
You can use that ext HDD to create a bootable Disk but all the methods that I know of, will completely wipe it. Maybe some other redditor has other ideas on making use of that drive w/o destroying your data.
What you can do is, get hold (or even buy) a USB stick with atleast 4GB capacity. Download and run PowerISO. Go to Options > Create bootable USB and follow the instructions.
You can now boot from this USB stick to do a fresh install of W7.
Download Power ISO trial. Go To Tools > Create Bootable USB and point it to Beini ISO. Follow the instructions on the screen. Ensure that the file name of ISO has no spaces in it. If so, rename it to something else.
I am not familiar with OS X. Do you have access to another windows computer? If yes, Download and run Power ISO. Go to tools > Create bootable USB drive and follow the instructions. Ensure that there are no spaces in the file name of Windows iso.
Download Power ISO. Go to Tools > Create Bootable USB and follow the instructions.
There are various other methods to create a bootable drive, but I find this to be the easiest.
Somehow I have a feeling that the image is not burned properly. Create a new bootable USB using this method.
Download Power ISO. Go to Tools > Create Bootable USB and follow the instructions to create Bootable Win installation. Try again.
In cas this also fails, try downloading the ISO again, Here is the link, in case you downloaded it from somewhere else.
http://www.techverse.net/download-windows-7-iso-x86-x64-microsofts-official-servers/
Try creating the bootable disk with Power ISO. Go to Tools > Create Bootable USB Drive and follow the on-screen instructions. If you get the same error here too, the iso itself maybe corrupted and you'll need to get a new iso.
Cloning will not work properly if the source drive has bad sectors (which is what I feel you have on your HDD).
For creating a bootable USB there are various methods. This is the easiest.
Download and install Power ISO. Trial version is fine.
Go to Tools > Create Bootable USB. Point it to the iso file that you want to use and follow the on screen instructions.
The boot capabilities were lost once you formatted it.
Download and run Power ISO. Click on Tools > Create bootable USB drive. Point it to the DBAN iso and follow the onscreen instructions.
Try this.
Download a trial version of Power ISO. Install. Insert your pen drive. In Power ISO select Tools >> Create Bootable USB drive and follow the instructions on the screen.
Download a trial version of Power ISO. Install. Insert your pen drive. In Power ISO select Tools >> Create Bootable USB drive.
In Source image fille box point it to the W7 iso that you have downloaded. In destination USB drive, point it to the drive letter of your USB stick.
Click start and follow the instructions. Note that all data on your pen drive will be erased, so ensure that you have it backed up before you proceed.
There are various other methods to create a bootable USB, but this is the simplest.
You will need to create a bootable USB stick for it to work. Download a trial version of Power ISO. Install it. Then Go to Tools > Create Bootable USB drive.
In the 'Source Image File' point it to the W8.1 ISO. Select the drive letter for the USB drive and follow the instructions.
Note that all data on your USB stick will be erased. Now on the PC where you want to install the OS, in BIOS select this USB stick as the first device to boot from. You should be on your way.
Download the iso. Then download Power ISO to create a bootable flash drive. Go to Tools > Create Bootable USB Drive and follow the instructions.
Try a repair install first. That will retain all your settings and files.
If you have to do a full install, ensure that you have the Product Key for your current Win 7 installation, else you will not be able to activate it.
How are you creating the bootable USB? I think there are some issues there. Try using Power ISO. Trial version is fine. Go too Tools > Create bootable USB and follow the instructions.
You will need to create a bootable USB. Simply copying the iso to USB will not work. Do this -
Download a trial version of Power ISO. Install it on another computer. Then create a bootable USB by going to Tools > Create bootable USB.
You will need to set the BIOS to boot from your USB drive. The USB drive itself should be bootable. Simply copying over the files will not work. Use trial version of Power ISO. Install it. Go to Tools > Create a bootable USB and then follow the instructions.
It's possible that the DVD did not get burned properly. You can create a bootable USB disk for your windows iso and try booting from there. Use trial version of Power ISO to create a bootable USB stick. Go to tools and select 'create a bootable USB'. Follow the instructions after that.
Many people just copy over the files and expect it to boot, hence my question. I have always used Yumi Multiboot or Power ISO to create my bootable USB's. You may want to try with these two as well.
OK, forget the DVD. Download a fresh ISO from here. Be sure to get the correct version. Make sure your computer is either 32 or 64 bit. The absolute easiest/free way to burn iso to a USB drive is with PowerISO. Super simple, but it must be mounted correctly. Just copying an ISO onto a flash drive simply will not work. It must be "burned" onto the USB, so it will no longer be a typical USB drive that can copy/paste files to & from. That USB will be only for booting a Win 7 operating system. This is not irreversible, you can easily reformat a usb stick in a few clicks once you are through.
If you have the iso or disk and just want to copy it to a flash drive for Win 7 they have a nifty little tool here that Microsoft put together.Note this is just for Windows 7. If you are trying to do this for other versions of Windows or what have you I personally love poweriso. The free version has served all of my purposes. Used it to burn my Win 8 to a usb drive just the other day.
