This site has the downloads for windows 7 OS boot disks. I had a hard
time downloading with multiple failures on this 3 gig file. You need
something called a download manager. Of course, I went for free ones.
the first two didn't work. A download manager called "internet
download manager" worked great. Big difference is it can restart after
an interuption, very common on my phone lines.


From there, a neat tip was to run a little zipped application to make
this disk install ANY flavor of OS7. There's a link to this trick on
the above site.


Now i have a boot DVD that can install W7 with any flavor to a dead
'puter. Looks like W7 is here to stay, I'd suggest that everybody do
this BEFORE you're in trouble.


In my case, I'll install to a brand new hard drive in the computer and
have two complete separate boot drives all set to go. I won't do this
till a cold nasty day when I got a lot of spare time. At least with
XP, I found a fresh install speeds everything up like buying a new
machine. bet the same thing happens to 7.

Anyone have a suggested download for XP Pro? *Cracked or legit..makes no
difference to me.

My current copy is getting flakey and Im still occasionally setting up
boxes for some folks who cant afford to buy a new computer.

So, what you're saying is that it makes no difference to you whether
you're stealing from Microsoft or not.
