Win 7 Student Download Error
I am a student on xp who has downloaded windows 7 professional. When attempting to 'unloading the box' it gets about a third of the way along and then gets an error that is an 'unspecified error'. I have tried redownloading which didn't work and have tried moving the files to a different location which also gave the same error. Any advice/solutions?

Cannot Unpack The Win 7 Student Upgrade Download
after several sessions of re-downloading the 32 bit Professional version and many more of rerunning the extract - the results are the same. It stops with "unexpected error" while unpacking Box1.   Surely there must be a straightforward ISO image that can be accessed! I don't knwo what the relationship between Microsoft and Digital River is, but the upgrade offer is made by Microsoft so I do expect them to assit in supporting this- not simply pass me on to Digital River (as the issues with DR support are well known).

Use Student Download To Upgrade
Can an .iso of the Win 7 Student download be used to "upgrade" a new laptop with the same version of Win 7, thus getting rid of unwanted programs? In other words, do a clean install using the .iso on DVD, then using the registration key from the new Win 7 laptop? Assuming it will work, how much problem is there likely to be with drivers?

Student Download Edition Hangs At Starting Screen
I purchased, downloaded and attempted to install the 32 bit version of Windows 7 Pro from Digital river. I tried several different installs and each one has failed. I ran the Windows 7 Advisor and the system passed all tests except for the video card will not run Aero, which I believe is a drive issue. My system specs are: Asus A8r32MVP-Deluxe MB   AMD Athlon 4800 X2   2GB RAM   ATI Radeon X1900XTX 512MB Video Card   1st Attempt - Create bootable DVD from the files downloaded from digital river.    1. Downloaded and ran the files to extract the install files to the desktop    2. Followed the instructions to create a bootable DVD using oscdimg.exe     3. Booted up the computer and booted from DVD    4. Recieved an error message that there was: CD/DVD Device Driver Missing. WHich is funny, because it had to first read that DVD in order to get that error message.    5. I gave up this route and moved on to the next/ 2nd Attempt - Install from the files from Windows.    1. Since the first install did not work, I booted back into XP and started the install process from Windows.    2. I selected the Custom install option and followed the prompts of selected my install drive    3. The process began normal until it came time to reboot, at which time the system came to the "Starting Windows" and stops. I let it sit like that for about an hour and it never changed.     4. At this point, I had to reinstall Windows XP because it would no longer boot.    5. Next attempt 3rd Attempt - Install from bootable USB    1. Using the ISO created in the earlier attempt, I created a bootable USB drive using the Windows 7 DVD/USB tool.    2. Long story short, still hanging at Starting Windows 4th Attempt - Complete reinstall of Windows XP Pro. Complete Re-Download of files from Digital River.     1. Re-install of Windows XP Pro    2. Re-download of Windows 7 Pro files    3. Hard drive check to ensure there is nothing wrong with the drive    4. Discovered an error in SMART, so selected a different drive for install. (First drive was IDE, second was SATA)    5. Started the Custom install process and selected the Up to Date option.    6. When computer rebooted, stuck once again at "Starting Windows". I read the following post:: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/918482ef-e5b0-473c-a0f4-7eb72efccc4e  but it was no help. I am unable to upload my log to Skydrive because the installation never finishes. Unless there is a way to access them from a DOS prompt, or whatever it would be called since DOS is gone.  UPDATE: 5th Install Attempt    1. Formatted system drive using Win XP install CD to NTFS.    2. Rebooted using the USB drive and seemed to get passed the Starting Windows screen    3. Selected the custom install option    4. Got to the select drive to install to screen, and when I selected the system drive, got an error that it could not create a new system partition.  That is now 5 attempts, while reading every post I can find on the subject. Attempting one more setup using install DVD but so far still stuck on the Starting Windows screen once more.  7th time is a charm. I was finally able to complete the Windows 7 install. If anyone is interested in the numerous steps or trial and error I did, just send me a message.

Canadian Student Digital River Download Product Key
I downloaded from Digital River yesterday with the student discount, and had the same problem as everyone else "unboxing" the download. I used the fix that's been circling round the forums and have got it installed and working. The only thing I'm missing is a product key. Wasn't Digital River supposed to give me one in my confirmation email? I've received nothing of the sort, and would really like to activate this product I've purchased. I have product keys from previous versions of Windows that I've bought, but the machine I installed Windows 7 on was using Linux as its main operating system. Any thoughts?

Error While Trying To Download Win 7 Via MAPS
I have a new MAPS subscription and have downloaded several products successfully. However, when I try to download Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate, the download fails. If I use IE, I can only use the Download Manager. The download errors out almost instantly with only a message of "Error" as an explanation. If I use Firefox (3.5.3) I can download via Download Manager or Web Browser, but neither one works. Using Web Browser saves a file with a file size of 0 KB. Download Manager errors out almost instantly but gives the following error message, "Download Manager Fatal Error - Could not find the requested file on the server. Contact the author of the page that contains the link. this download will be canceled."

Win 7 Download Fails: Download Files Are Reported Being Bad
I've been trying to download the german version of win7rc from the microsoft website, but unfortunately, this hasn't worked. Each time the download is finished, i get informed, the integrity check wants to get sure, that the file I just downloaded works correctly. After having checked it, it reports that the file is damaged or bad, and I therefore need to download the file again or to abort. In both cases, the old-download gets automatically deleted. I've tried it again for at least 10 times, but I still have no Idea, why I'm not being able to download Win7 successfully. Do you have any ideas?My OS is WinXP SP3 32Bit.I tried the download with IE7 and IE8.

Win 7 Student Upgrade
I have the option of going for the Windows 7 student deal and have a few questions that I want to clarify before I go for it: - Is it the retail upgrade version, not the OEM upgrade? So I'll be able to use this key on a brand new box later on down the road? - Is a clean install of the upgrade version exactly the same as a clean install of the retail, bar the MediaBootInstall registry key being 1 instead of 0 (if the installer doesn't find any previous version of Windows)? I.e. Is it just the installer that differs, with no difference between an actual clean install of the upgrade and retail versions? - I installed and have been using the RTM for a few weeks, can I just use the upgrade key to activate this version?

Download Manager Error / The Server Returned An Error
I keep getting "The server returned an error. Would you like to retry?" without fail on both the 32 and 64 bit downloads. Any heads up on guidance? Is this a server issue? It's continued behavior from at least yesterday. Environment is XP x64 through IE. If you select yes, download manager immediately says connecting, initializing (with a connection rate), and then errors out all within about a second. Download b/w is >8M connection (just to point out it's not timing out from a dialup connection or anything).

Will Student Win 7 Pro 32-bit Key Work For 64-bit Later ?
My niece, who's in college ordered and downloaded Windows 7 Professional (one 32-bit and one 64-bit) from win741.com (Microsoft/Digital River deal for students only). I'm going to be installing this on her laptop (currently on Vista 32-bit going to ---> 7 Pro 32-bit), and her desktop (currently on Vista 32-bit going to ---> 7 Pro 64-bit via a clean custom install) this weekend. I'm also upgrading her desktop to 8GB of RAM since she uses this for Photoshop 64-bit and needs the extra memory for the times when she has several RAW D-SLR files and files with multiple layers open. Hence, the reason why we're using 64-bit on that desktop. We stayed with 32-bit on the laptop because they have old printers at her college that don't have 64-bit drivers, so to save her the hassle of incompatible drivers, we stayed with 32-bit on her laptop since it only has 2 GB of RAM. My Question is: If she decides to upgrade her RAM on her laptop later to 6GB, can she then use the 64-bit Windows 7 Pro installation (clean install of course) files she downloaded for her Desktop PC, but still continue to use the key she was given when she ordered & downloaded the 32-bit version?  I know this is possible with the Family Pack which provides 32-bit and 64-bit install CDs and just one key. Is the same possible for the student $30 download deal she got?

Win 7 Upgrade Via Download
I have a student who has taken advantage of the Microsoft offer and ordered via download Windows 7. This turned out to perform an upgrade of Windows 7 over the existing Windows XP Home Edition. I have been tasked with upgrading the hard drive on this laptop over Christmas so would like to know where the install files will be for me to rebuild the OS once the new hard drive has been installed. I have asked them to check for an ISO file but they tell me there isnt one. Does Windows 7 just download and install wiping off any traces of the install files, if so, whats the procedure for re-installing in the event of hardware failure?

Enterprise Download Page Certificate Error
Has there been any resolution to the security error on the download page for the Enterprise Edition? Its been known for a while, it seems odd that Microsoft hasn't done anything to correct it. Is it a ploy to scare away non IT pros from the download?

Can't Download Programs Into Win 7
I can not download Google Earth to my new WINDOWS 7 laptop; 4GB MEM; 320HD The Google Earth Installer downloads but the actual program does not install into my program files nor show as a desktop icon. I am asking for this right from the Google Earth page. This download is bundled with Google Chrome and this Chrome downloads to my list and desktop. I tried the download from both Firefox, first and Internet Explorer, second. Might the Google Earth program be tightly wound within Google Chrome somewhere? I can not see it? Shall I try to download G Earth from this 'Chrome' which seems to be a browser of some kind.
