Windows 7 RC 2...Compaq computer?

[Miles Tails Prowler]

I have a Compaq presario PC with windows vista... it came with vista from best buy about 2 years ago. it has a duel core processor and kicks some serious ass at runnig crisis. The problem i am having sees to be that i have put the WINDOWS 7 RC 2 beta on a CD and put it into the drive. I have tryed changing the boot sequene in BIOS but it does nothing and windows VISTA starts normally... How can i run the ISO and make my PC boot from the CD on start up. Thanks in advance, Miles Tails Prowler















Its on a DVD and i had to copy it from my computer to my fathers to burn it then bring it back to my pc and try to run it.

Maybe the ISO you got is un-bootable? It has to be bootable. Download the RC 7100 from Microsoft's site. Not all ISO's are bootable. And did you burn the whole ISO to the DVD? Or did you extract the ISO and the burn it? You have to burn the ISO, do not extract and burn.

Try Using Active ISO burner from -- [url]http://www.ntfs.com/iso-burning.htm[/url]































Try changing the BIOS setting to DVD/CD Rom. If you have two DVD/CD Drives, then change it to the primary one. The drives connected to the slave are not that likely to boot, maybe they will boot.































Hope that helped
