    After downloading windows 7 beta 64 bit and 32 bit versions. I finally got a blank DVD and burned the ISO file onto the disk. I run the start up and an error message comes up saying, Unable to Transfer files. The data may be corrupt. Help? NEMI COME HERE!

    You know it has to be in the disk when you boot up. Also in the bios settings you have to change it to boot from optical drive before disk drive. Also did you get a key? They are free now. Get one here.

    UPDATE/NOTICE TO WINDOWS 7 BETA TESTERS. I Got another blank disk and the installation is working properly now. If you ever run into this problem re-burn to disk.

    Lol, or you could be smart and download it from one of those sites. Most copies you'll find there won't make you burn it to a disk. Or, you could also be smart and just run it off of Daemon Tools.

    I dunno. My plan was just to virtualize it on one of my more powerful PCs. The rest are actually doing stuff, like downloading big-ass files and acting as file and proxy servers for myself. Plus, I'm waiting to get an extra copy from my coworker, he's a big Microsoft fan (yeah, I know, first time I've heard of one too).

    I got the beta like a week ago successfully installed. However my computer ****ing crashes, not a specific points, but at random. Nobody else seems to have this problem. I have to run my computer in safe mode which is like windows '85(before sound was invented) Oh and I can't re-install in safe mode. Any hits guys?
