So I have access to blank dvds 700 mb
At the library they have a server that wont allow me to go into the controll panel on the computer so no windows key and r for a recovery disc
I found a program to save to disc but I got a little confused I was hoping someone could talk me through

At first I just downloaded the file and tried to burn it to a disc
The disc didn't boot up as bootable in my laptop so I got to thinking that it probley wasn't saved as a .iso file
The computer I was working on at the library wasn't showing the program so I tried extracting it with winzip and then I saw the file on my winiso but by the time I misclicked it held my disc in the drive for an hour erasing it, so I took the day off from attempting again
Could anyone tell me if I am on the right track?
Or if willing could someone point me in the direction of an easy to boot from CD linux os that I could load up in my laptop to replace the windows error? Any help is appreciated thank you have a good day

blank cd-rom's.
You don't have access cause your not supposed to have access.
Your downloading an .ISO hence why you can't access it, you need to burn images on slowest speed for a bootable OS.

/edit
buy a usb thumb drive and use rufus to install w/e iso to it.
stop fucking with cdr's

The hell are you trying to do...?

If you need a bootable USB drive for windows 10 PM me and Ill give you some simple steps.

But you shouldn't be trying to do this from a public machine, you likely cannot access what you want because its locked down.

Xistz: If you could please clarify the highlighted parts, perhaps I could be of assistance to you.

Your exact problem is attempting to use a government machine at your local library or your personal machine in the public library?

Thank you.

Welcome to a three-week old thread.

its his newest thing, necro posting.

So I am able to boot hirens from a USB but i am unable to figure out how to fix the os
I did save the files on the usb as ntfs or whatever the other option wouldn't recognize in the boot screen
I am able to connect to the internet on it
Would I be able to delete everything from the harddrive and install a new OS while booting from the usb?
I found the product key but when I type it into the Microsoft website I get an error on their windows recovery page
Feel free to PM me for more info

Thanks, Surfpunk.

It was a Xistz post; it felt quite natural and appealing to me.




I do not!

11. Click on the only remaining listed (raw) drive and click on "Next" (to install Windows 7: Professional 32-bit)

NOTE - Possible issues you will run into during this process:
Possible error #1: After you click on "Install now": If it errors saying you do not have drivers and offers to allow you to 'Browse': You will need to install from the harddrive and cannot use the USB to install Windows 7!
Possible error #2: After you delete the existing partitions: Windows will say it 'cannot install to the drive' for whatever reason and say that an error log has been written.
Possible issue #3: You will not have the drivers for the wifi, keyboard (doubtful), track-ball or track-pad

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOW TO SOLVE ERROR #1 and #2 (installing Windows 7: Professional 32-bit directly from the harddrive):

1. Boot into Windows
   
2. Windows key (opens "Start orb" and search menu)
   
3. cmd - Right click and click on "Run as Administrator"
   
   1. Type the following:
      
   2. diskpart
      
   3. list disk
      
   4. select disk X (substitute X for your main hdd that you want to install Windows 7 onto)
      
   5. list volume (take note of the volume that has Windows installed on it; typically the C drive)
      
   6. shrink desired=25000 minimum=25000 (25GB of hdd space)
      
   7. create partition primary
      
   8. OPTIONAL: list volume (to display the newly selected and RAW partition)
      
   9. format fs=ntfs label="Win7 Installer" quick
      
   10. assign
       
   11. active (NOTE: This command will cause this partition to become the 'active' partition (AKA: system flag set))
       
   12. exit (exits out of diskpart)
       
   13. *** DO NOT EXIT OUT OF COMMAND PROMPT YET ***
   
   
4. Right click on the Windows 7: Professional 32-bit ISO (Windows_7_32-bit_Professional_x86.iso) and extract the files to a single folder (I prefer to use 7-zip for this task)
   
5. Select all files that were extracted and copy them to the newly created partition (I do not know the drive letter assigned; it will be randomly generated)

The files and folders are the root directory of the extracted ISO should be as listed:

• FOLDER: boot
  
• FOLDER: efi
  
• FOLDER: sources
  
• FOLDER: support
  
• FOLDER: upgrade
  
• FILE: autorun.inf
  
• FILE: bootmgr
  
• FILE: setup.exe

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPERLY SETTING THE BOOT FLAG:

1. (In command prompt type) X: (substitute "X" with the newly created 25GB partition that was set to active)
   
2. cd boot
   
3. bootsect.exe /nt60 all /force /mbr
   
4. Restart Windows and BOOT TO THE HDD

bootsect's output should be something similar to this:


Upon rebooting: Windows 7: Professional 32-bit installer should load and everything should be normal (delete all listed partitions and select the only remaining raw partition left and click on "Next" as usual).

That is it!

If you run into any sort of issues or hang ups: Feel free to reply and I'll see if I can help some more.
