Hi to all,
First, I am a rookie to all of this!
I have replaced my HPE-400f, mobo and cpu, and now it will not load windows, so I down loaded windows 7 on to another pc, now I need to burn it to a dvd.
I have downloaded windows 7, and installed ImgBurn,
Now following the instructed steps, click on WRITE/FILES/FOLDERS TO DISC.
I then click on ADVANCED tab, then BOOTABLE DISC tab, then I checked the "MAKE IMAGE BOOTABLE" box.
Point the 'Boot Image' to the 'etfsboot.com' file within the 'boot' folder in your source folder.
This is where my problem is!>>>>>>>> My windows 7 download does not open like a folder?
So i cannot choose the "BOOT IMAGE?"
MY QUESTION IS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Did i do something wrong when downloading windows 7?
Why is it not in somekind of a folder or something?
This is what my down load looks like>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I 10:28:29 Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium x64 Edition (6.1, Build 7601 : Service Pack 1)
Could I simply use the, "BURN USING ImgBurn" option, and burn it straight to the disc? I am guessing that it would not be "BOOTABLE" IF i DONE THAT?
If not, then what do I do from here?
Any & all help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I have never used ImgBurn but I have used Roxio. All an .ISO file is a compressed image file and when you run ImgBurn it uncompresses the image an writes the file to the DVD. Typically it will create a DVD that has autorun and when you boot the pc with the DVD in the slot it will run
