Hello Oblomow, and welcome to Eight Forums.

I haven't given it a try yet to be able to confirm yes or no, but you might give it a go and see if you like. :)

Hi, do we really need the USB/DVD tool for burning the *.iso to a DVD? Can't we just use the "Burn to disc" option of Windows 7?

Shawn,

One thing to consider, according to the information available from MS ....

The full developer preview is to large for a standard DVD and requires a dual layer Disk, the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool does not support Dual Layer disks, so some work around will be needed.

I am downloading the Full package and the standard package - I will install from the standard and then extract what I need from the full package ISO

I just used that tool for both to make it easier to do the tutorial with, but yes you can use any image burning program you like including the "Burn to disc" feature in Windows 7. :)

Good point Nigel. I added a note to warn and help.

You already know this Shawn, but one can just create a bootable flash drive in diskpart the win7 way, then extract the preview iso contents to the flash, boot from the flash and install.

Regarding Oblomow58's question, I first tried to extract the iso to my data drive and run setup.exe from there. It gave me the option to retain user files and settings or retain nothing. After that it started the install which kinda spooked me because I think it was installing to my data drive so I cancelled. then I tried to run setup.exe from the C: drive at which point it told me I needed at least 16 gigs free space (which I didn't have). So, if you have at least 16 gigs free space on the drive you want to install this thing on you can try running setup.exe from the extracted iso.

Hello Bill,

Oh yes, that would work as well. Since it was a ISO file, I just used this method since it seemed to be easier and faster to do. That's all. :)

I am trying to boot windows 8 dp iso with EasyBCD at the moment I will report back what happens after this. :)

Update: I added the boot entry with just 2 clicks,

I am booting and configuring os installation parameters as we speak O_O;

Update 2: I am getting No Device drivers were found . Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers then click. I think this is a similar error to windows 7 =/

retrying again now.

Mercurial,

Thank you for the confirmation. I figured that it had to be the same as Windows 7. :party:

Is it possible to boot directly to the iso?

See the article "Boot from ISO without Burning to Disk"
(How to Make Windows Boot Manager Boot an ISO from your Hard Drive) in sevenforums tutorial section.
Boot from ISO without Burning to Disk - Windows 7 Forums

Thanks in Advance

Sincerely yours Oblomow

It works as described - You can install Windows 8 x64 directly from the iso via EasyBCD.

In the meantime I installed it in an VMware virtual machine - Works fine with VMware 8!

Best Regards

Sincerely yours Oblomow
