    You will receive it as an ISO image I expect, so you need a program that burns images to CD.

    1.- COPY WINDOWS FILES TO A HARD DISK
    Of course, you’ll need all the Windows 7 or Windows Vista files. For instance, I copied all of them within C:\Win7_7048_EN\x86fre
    You could even add more custom files, like drivers or whatever..
    2.- GENERATE THE ISO FILE
    Open a command prompt console (with Administrator’s rights) and go where you have the AIK’s tools. Then type the following:

    oscdimg -n -m -b”C:\Win7 7048 EN\DVD Bootable Tools\x86_Boot\etfsboot.com” C:\Win7_7048_EN\x86fre C:\Win7_7048_EN_ISO\Win7_7048_x86_EN.iso
    You’ll get messages like the following:
    ”OSCDIMG 2.55 CD-ROM and DVD-ROM Premastering Utility
    Copyright (C) Microsoft, 1993-2007. All rights reserved.
    Licensed only for producing Microsoft authorized content.
    Scanning source tree (500 files in 49 directories)
    Scanning source tree complete (810 files in 159 directories)
    Computing directory information complete
    Image file is 2825107456 bytes
    Writing 810 files in 159 directories to V:\Win7_7048_EN_ISO\Win7_7048_x86_E
    100% complete
    Final image file is 2825107456 bytes
    Done.”

    At this time you’ll have a new ISO file for Windows 7 or Vista!!. :-)
    If you want Windows x64, just use the other file types for x64, like:
    oscdimg -n -m -b”C:\Win7 7048 EN\DVD Bootable Tools\x64_Boot\etfsboot.com” C:\Win7_7048_EN\x64fre C:\Win7_7048_EN_ISO\Win7_7048_x64_EN.iso
    COMMAND’S MEANING:
    -b points to the boot sector file location (etfsboot.com). This file will make the DVD bootable. Do not use a space between b and path!
    Then, first path is the location of original Windows DVD files.
    Second path points to the directory where the iso file will be created in.
    -n makes it possible to use extended file names.
    -m allows to create iso files, larger than CD format.
    3.- BURN YOUR ISO FILE

    Just burn your new ISO image onto a DVD media using any third party software, like NERO, ROXIO, ImageBurn, etc.

    Got your Windows 7 Home Premium what? If it’s a DVD, just copy the disc. If it’s an ISO, it will burn directly in Windows 7 or use the likes of Nero or a free disc burner.

    Try Joboshare DVD Creator .

    Convert almost any video such as avi, wmv, mpg, vob, dat, 3gp, mp4, asf, etc to DVD Disc.

    Just have a try.

    Good luck!

    here’s a much simpler soluton.

    1. install a dvd authoring software:

    full version trial available…= )

    2. open the dvd authoring software

    3. click on burn

    4. select iso or the image file of windows 7

    5. click on burn and insert your blank dvd

    that’s it…= )
