I went to the windows download site to download windows 7 RC... they say to do a clean install on a test machine but the file they downloaded is an iso file (2.36 GB). Where do I go from here? How do I make the iso file turn into win 7 install. If I have to put it on a cd-I can burn in to a cd on another computer... but how do I make the cd bootable and install? If you can help, thanks in advance

First off, you need to burn the iso. Do not burn it as DATA file, because it won't work. In your burning software, you must select burn .iso, then locate and select the iso file. After that, restart the computer with the cd in the drive. When it boots up, it will ask to press any button to boot from cd. Do it. Let it load, once it loads you should be able to tell what to do. It's pretty simple. Make sure when it boots from the disc to DELETE the hard drive data, and click install on the same hard drive. Please back up all of your data before you do this, as it will wipe ALL DATA. BTW, windows 7 is pretty awesome =)
