I made up a neat little iso but I can't seem to burn it to jack shit, so I guess my DVD-RW drive is just getting old or whatever. Can't tell if it's the iso that's corrupt or my burner.
Also, apparently the Windows 7 Upgrade is a bit of marketing hype. The version sold to students at $30 is a full version of Windows 7. Additional Spam: I dunno if that solution is only supposed to work for Vista or SP3, because I'm still using XP SP2. I contacted Digital River to see about getting an actual disc which will of course take forever.
Jam it back in, in the dark.

Welp, tried burning some simple data to a DVD-R and my whole system froze up. Good jorb, PIONEER.
Suppose I'll have to use the bootable flash drive method and have a friend burn it onto a cd for me. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Hahaha so the 4 gig flash drive I bought doesn't have enough space and I had to clear out its partitions to fit the ISO, so now there's a functioning ISO on the drive but I can't boot from it. This after going through DVD-Rs like toilet paper before realizing my DVD-RW is bad. I've spent about 20 bucks so far just trying to get this fucking thing to work.
Just have to call in some favors, I guess. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Uh, how would I have an ISO if I didn't compile it myself from the Digital River files motherfucker!?
Additional Spam: Just because I never used my DVD-RW to burn any DVDs until the day I needed it most and it had already given up the ghost long ago doesn't mean I don't know a thing or two about mounting isos. Gimme a lil credit, fellas. Additional Spam: Everything I've done has already been tested and proven by people who know way more about this stuff than I do, I just can't for the life of me get these goddamn files into a format I can boot from. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

So I finally get the iso onto a dvd, try to boot from it and get the message
Additional Spam: I booted from my Windows XP cd just fine. I was speaking idiomatically.
