Technically if it's a torrent that's not distributing the file illegally it's ok, I can't remember Microsoft's policy about redistribution though.

Also you can mount the disc iso and do an in-place install from within the current installation, it'll then save the install files to the hard-drive so you don't need a disc / USB to install. If I remember correctly that is.

I run windows 7 from an USB each month, found a good auto install program, takes 10mins, works on 7, should work on VISTA. There is an official Microsoft program to make it boot from USB for you.

Maybe get a live version or Ubuntu, just in case it goes **** up?

Yeah I read the rules, I can't promote illegal downloads :P

Extract the ISO contents into a folder like c:\WinISO and make sure the external HDD or USB drive is plugged in (and formatted to NTFS), open an Administrator command prompt and do:

cd c:\WinISO\boot
bootsect.exe /NT60 G:

(where G: is your external drive letter), this will write bootable code to the drive and you should get something like this:

Code:

---

D:\ISOs\SW_DVD5_Win_Pro_7w_SP1_64BIT_English_MLF_X17-28603\boot>bootsect.exe /NT60 G:
Target volumes will be updated with BOOTMGR compatible bootcode.

G: (\\?\Volume{79e4ea0a-7e44-11e0-9051-806e6f6e6963})

    Successfully updated NTFS filesystem bootcode.

Bootcode was successfully updated on all targeted volumes.

D:\ISOs\SW_DVD5_Win_Pro_7w_SP1_64BIT_English_MLF_X17-28603\boot>

Then you just need to copy all the files from the ISO to the USB drive, I have to do this all the time so I know it works perfectly if your computer can boot from USB.

It's cool guys, figured it out. **** was overheating.

Thanks all anyway :D

lol, all that and it was just an overheat :P not one of us suggested that.
