2 GHz processor
Windows XP SP2 running on it
A CD ROM - NOT DVD
And 8 gig Pen drive

I have downloaded Windows 7 iso. And, the installation process says to burn it on a DVD. I do not have a DVD burner or reader!
I want to install 7. How do I o that on my rig! I have downloaded Damon tools but have no idea what to do. Plus, I want to uninstall my current XP..after 7 goes perfect....
Please help!!!

Well if you want to install windows 7, I don't think without burning a DVD its possible. You need to burn the ISO in a DVD & then install it.
Install it as a single OS & not try to dual boot along with your existing XP in the 10gb of free space.
I advice you to get an external DVD burner attached to your PC & burn the ISO.
I have never tried to install any OS using demon tool. or any mounting application.
Hope this helps.

Hey I think its possible to install Windows 7 without burning it on a DVD.
The method I have read somewhere but it was out of my understandings. It was asked for some software which makes it possible to install Windows 7 without DVD drive or USB drive.
I hope someone will come up with a guide for this.
First of all run this upgrade advisor tool to check whether your system is compatible with windows 7 or not

And you can install windows 7 only by fresh install
U can try use FLASH DRIVE

Should I install Win 7 now>???Custom installation required
You'll need to perform a custom installation of 32-bit Windows 7 and then reinstall your programs. Make sure to back up your files before you begin.
Go online to get important information about installing Windows 7 on a PC running Windows XP
Windows Aero support
Your current graphics adapter won't support the Windows Aero user interface. If you want to experience the benefits of Windows Aero, contact your PC manufacturer or retailer to see if an upgrade is available.

16 GB free hard disk space required
You need at least 16 GB of free space on your hard disk to install 32-bit Windows 7. Either make room by removing unwanted files from your hard disk, or contact your PC manufacturer or retailer to see if a hard disk with more capacity is available for your PC.
Outlook Express
This program is no longer included in Windows 7. You can get similar programs for Windows 7 from other software manufacturers.

For installing Windows 7 on your system, you need to check out the following links. The method is very simple and you can use without any hassles. The first thing to do is check whether your desktop or laptop PC is capable of running Windows 7. Needless to say that your motherboard should support USB Boot feature to make use of the bootable USB drive. Officially, you need at least a 1-GHz CPU and 1GB RAM, but testers of the OS have successfully got it running on machines as out of date as a 266-MHz Pentium II with 96MB of RAM.
