I downloaded the Windows 7 Beta in January, but only got around to trying to install it recently, I found that my ISO was corrupt, so I have a valid Beta Windows 7 key and no ISO. There seems to be no way of getting another copy to try again for free. So I am a disappointed user, with a disappointed 14 yr old son who was willing to let his mum nobble his PC!
Has anyone got a copy that I could try again with.
NB I have tried burning as slow as the burners will allow on 3 PC's so far so I do think it is the ISO that is corrupt. :(

What's the size of the ISO? I've noticed that, in our company, there have been some problems with downloading Microsoft's .iso's. It could be either a halted download or a problem on Microsoft's end...

To answer your question: I don't think that they're downloadable anymore. I wouldn't install it on your son's computer anyway, as they expire somewhere in August :)

Yeah August it could be for him. Instead of forking out for Vista for him :)

I know that many torrent sites have the Win 7 Beta, many with the updated release canidates. You can try and search around if you really want the beta. However, I tend to shy away from downloading OSes from torrents (unless they're Linux and that's the only way to get them) because of my fear of implanted viruses. I would read the comments (if any) if you choose to download the beta from a torrent site.
