Ok so, you can use daemon tools/alcohol 120 to install it, the reboot doesnt matter as it will have the setup cached by then.

If you have an existing OS that you want to keep then you just need to have a second partition. In the initial setup you just choose 'custom' and choose your other partition, this will create a boot up menu which will have Windows 7 as default, would could be swapped around later.

Also a word to anyone with more than one monitor plugged in, unplug the secondary monitor or it may fail to boot into the login screen after install.

Had the same problem with the wireless lan drivers, cant be bothered to mess about with it now so i will have a go later, tho as it stands its miles less stable than vista, i blue screened it within 5 minutes lol

 

wait so you can use daemon tools, becasue when you install by the disk it goes to 20 percent and reboots and then continues untill it is installed.

 

 

Yeah ive done it twice with daemon tools with no problem, it creates 'windows 7 setup' as one of the boot sequence items which you choose then completes the install off the files it has copied onto the partition from the initial setup.
