Issues With DigitalRiver And Making A Boot DVD
I decided to use DigitalRiver to download my copy of Windows 7 and I will NEVER use them again. They have no phone or tech support; the only way to contact them is by email, in which a response can take many days.
It took me over 10 hours to download their download manager. While the DM seems to work OK, I keep getting the same error message near/at the end of the unpacking:
"We are unable to create or save new files in the folder in which this application was downloaded. Please check the folder properties to make sure that you have security permission on the folder to write files and that the folder is not read-only"
So while I wait for some intelligent response from them, I'm trying to create a bootable DVD but I'm not having any luck. I've tried using BurnAware and UltraISO yet every time I reboot, the DVD never boots...any ideas on exact steps to take?

Making A Boot Disk
I need to flash some roms on a graphics card and a disk controller card, but both require the use of a 'boot floppy' (i'm adding that in quotes as this is totally alien to me! I suppose this means some sort of ancient dos thing! I've really tried against all odds to eliminate floppy and serial / PS2 devices from my life, and now I've achieved this, and my loft is far too dusty to be crawling around in trying to find such things again! Could I create this dinosaur relic on a USB stick, and if so, how does one go about it? I tried making my usb stick bootable as I did in the wonderful thread on this forum to install RC1 and it worked a dream, but i'm guessing this isn't the same thing is it .

Making A System Reserved Partition With A Dual Boot Setup
I have a 300 MB FAT32 partition as the 1st partition on the HDD I'm going to install win7 on. Will it use that to put the bootloader / BCD on since it puts the bootloader on the 1st partition on the disk (effectively 'creating' a system reserved partition)? Or should I convert it to NTFS before the install?

Use DigitalRiver Pro Key For Anytime Upgrade
I confirm that you can windows anytime upgrade from Home Premium (even not yet activated) to Professional using Digital River product key (of course for Professional edition). The process takes less than 10 minutes and you don't need the Professional or Anytime Upgrade DVD. All the installed programs are intact.

Digitalriver Student Promotion: Wrong Language Upgrade
I recently purchased Win7 x64 upgrade through the Canadian student promotion I got through e-mail. Download worked fine, everything worked fine until I started installing the upgrade... I got the promotional e-mail in English, my Vista version is French... Nothing in the e-mail and the purchasing process mentionned that there were multiple language versions... So now I can't upgrade since we can't upgrade fr-CA to en-CA... Anyway to get an fr-CA upgrade download in replacement? I sent 2 messages to digitalriver with my order number and never got any reply (that was a month ago).And a suggestion: the language issues should be clearly indicated on the website, I didn't even know I had an english-only version before I started installing it.

Can't Get RC1 To Boot From DVD Using SATA DVD
I've got the Win-7 beta installed (32-bit) and it works fine. I'm trying to "upgrade" to the 64-bit RC1, which requires me to do a clean install. When I try to boot to the Windows 7 RC1 DVD, it doesn't work (the "press any key to boot from DVD" message never pops up). I've used my WinXP and Vista CD/DVDs (retail CDs), to make sure my BIOS is set properly and they boot fine. The DVDs work inside my Win7 install, but I obviously can't upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit. I've used Alcohol 120%, my Win7 install, and another program (I think ISOBurn? or some other free one) to burn the images. Same problem with all of them. Motherboard is an Abit IP35 Pro DVD drive is a Plextor PX-755SA

DVD FATAL BOOT ERROR CDBOOT: Cannot Boot From CD - Code: 5
I have the same problem as I saw several times in this Forum with the german version. Windows 7 DVD FATAL BOOT ERROR] CDBOOT: Cannot boot from CD - Code: 5. But I think not this is a basic issue on the hardware. About I can boot and install von different other DVD OS and install, i.e. Vista, Windows Server 2008, XP. So I think basicly the issue is to find in the iso file. The issue can related by download and/or burning or previously on creating the iso file. I had 3 time try to redownload the iso file, and burning more then 5 DVD on -DVD nothing is working. Also I don't think that Microsoft wants that older PC with had the minimum requements didn't can upgrade to windows 7, so they have to look into this issue. I hope a solution will posted soon.

Making Programs Transparent
In Windows XP, if you had a Nvidia card, you could use nView to make some programs transparent. It would make the whole program transparent, not only the title bar. But theres no nView for Vista nor 7. So do you think this feature should be implemented? Or should we depend on some cheap 3rd party programs to do that? If so, do you know a good free program for this purpose?

Win764it Keeps Making My Drives Read Only
Win 64Bit Keeps making my drives Disk (Volume) attributes "read-only". I can Unlock the drives by using the command prompt and using diskpart to clear the attributes on each drive and volume, but this is tedious, and I have to do it almost every day. What is causing this and what can I do? I have a feeling it may be related to another problem I have. I tried to change my homegroup settings but closed down my PC before it had finished making the changes. Now, when I try to change the homegroup settings all I see is a notice saying that it is still sharing my Libraries, or something similar. This message is permanent, and I can make no changes. What can I do about this issue please?

Making IE Default Email Program Again
I know with Vista there was Windows Mail or whatever it was, and with 7 they removed that. Let me state this very clearly. I DO NOT WANT THAT PROGRAM. I have Hotmail, I would like to KEEP that. The problem is, when I go to click a link that would open up email, I get an error saying I do not have an email program and to please get one. Is there a way to set it back so that when I click on an email link it opens IE and directs me to Hotmail?

Making More Use Of My Large Amount Of Memory
I have 4gb of ram installed. Windows 7 says it exists so I think it's set to go. What's annoying is that the computer never uses more than say 1.5 GB of memory. I'm annoyed than when I want to seek through a video file there's an annoying lag as it has to stop every notch and seek from the hard drive. Is there a way to set it, or a certain video player, that will have it load, say, the entire video file into memory, and, say, load more into memory when running intensive applications?

DVD Will Not Boot, But CD Will
I am trying to install Windows 7 (clean install) 64 bit edition. I just re build my computer with new motherboard, ram cpu etc... I have burned the DVD and it works in my laptop, pulls up the installation etc. But in my new computer, it complains to enter a bootable drive when I put the dvd in. I tried a CD that has windows XP on it and it boots up to install just fine, it appears to not recognize the dvd disk for some reason. Any tips on how I can get past this issue? So the DVD works in Laptop on booting up, but does not work in my Desktop. The CD bootable disk does work for XP.

Code 5 When Trying To Boot From The DVD
Any ideas about what this means? Tried to install on a test machine that should be fine for installing the beta of Windows 7, but I can't get past this part. I get told the disk isn't bootable due to a code 5 error and it then stops and tried to boot from the next bootable device.I'd like to play with the beta, but don't really want to put it on a main machine at this point.

Cannot Boot From CD/DVD Code: 5
I have got the following problem with the installation process:I tried to install Windows 7 on my Test-PC (MSI K8T Neo with Via K8T800 Chipset and socket 754). When I tried to boot from the DVD I got this message "Cannot boot from CD/DVD Code: 5". After that, I tried another DVD drive, the same problem. Then I tried the DVD on my gaming machine to secure that the DVD is ok and and there was no problem, I could boot from DVD and the install programm started. Then I thought it could be the DVD drive and so I took the working DVD drive and connected it to my Test PC, but the problem was the same, it cannot boot from the DVD. The DVD drive is connected at the primary IDE Channel as Master AND my WinXP Pro CD can boot WITHOUT a problem on my Test PC!Has anybody an idea what is wrong?
