Hello all,
I plan on buying a new PC before the year is up and I would really like for this PC to run Windows 7. So, with the release of the Windows 7 RC, I really want to take the OS for a test run. My main desktop PC is the only one capable of running it so i need to dual boot as opposed to doing a clean install. I’ve already set up my partition, backed up my important data just in case, and burned the bootable DVD but when I went to install it, I realized that the PC I want to install it on can’t boot from the DVD drive (or a USB flash drive). It’s a pretty old PC but I’ve been upgrading it over the years and it surpasses all the 7 requirements. the only real options I have to boot from looking at my BIOS are floppy, CD, Hard Drive, and Lan since i don’t have a ZIP or LS120 drive.
so my question is, it there any way to install Windows 7 using multiple CD’s? Or is there a way to make my BIOS recognize my DVD drive as a bootable drive? I’ve searched all over and can’t figure it out. If anyone can tell me if there is any way to get this OS on my PC, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
