RoSer Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I need to install operating system from erased 2011 HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF with S/N MXL13415K6 - Windows 7 Pro OA. This is a commercial computer I bought at an auction: They erased everything. Thank you, RO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Krohn Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 You should go for the Win 7 Pro download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoSer Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Will a DVD-R work? So that I do not have to use 4 CDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Krohn Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 One DVD-R has plenty of space. That will work fine. Or use Rufus, so you're not gonna waste a DVD-R as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoSer Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 I am not sure what I am doing wrong - I press F9 and F11, and F10 just in case... Tried COEM Home and Professional and Win 7 PRO ... Frustrated. Any suggestions? I was told to use OEM Win 7 for this "commercial" computer, but after burning these 3 DVD-R's and trying them, I am not sure what to do.

Jan Krohn Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 What's the exact error message? Have you changed the boot order in your BIOS to boot from DVD first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoSer Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 I just get this - see pick - after F9 or F10 hitting several times the disk seems to want to run, but nada, zip, zilch. Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Krohn Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 You need to burn the ISO to the DVD as a bootable image, not just copy the file onto the DVD. You can use ImgBurn or Nero to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoSer Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Are these programs free? I am googling - went to Imgburn website, but ended up getting mallware-cleaning now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoSer Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 I figured out the correct ImgBurn and have it - now to create image and try it out. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Krohn Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 ImgBurn is free, and when you get it from the official site, comes without malware: http://www.imgburn.com Nero is not free, and contains no ads whatsoever. They have a 30 days' trial version. http://www.nero.com I personally prefer Nero, but ImgBurn is okay as a free alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoSer Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 I tried Image 1: Provided by Digital: FILLED WITH MALLWARE!!! Now did #7-ALL GOOD! by IMGBurn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
