How do I use Rufus? Which options do I use for 64bit Win7 Home Premium when I already have the ISO.

Run Rufus, point it at the ISO.
Point it at the DVD drive.
Go.

I ended up going to this forum to find out how to use Rufus: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/faq/id-1881143/create-bootable-usb-drive.html

Thanks for your help anyway!

Have another one to try?

USAFRet :

Okay, I have used another USB stick that I found lying around. I then repeated the process and the green bar is full and now says 'READY'. Does this mean I can unplug the USB stick or do I click 'Start'?

USAFRet · Dec 31, 2015

Click Start.

It has begun copying again, thought I'd already done this but I guess you gotta be double sure haha

Looks like it has all finished - thanks all for your help, we will find out in the next few days if I can get my PC up and running again!

I found it in the \Boot folder of a 32-bit Windows install ISO. You can probably find the link to download the 32-bit ISO from Digital Rivers if you google it.
