I need to make my windows 7 64 bit, it's 32/86 bit at the moment.

@ScriptBuilder1000 You need a 64bit copy which will require an additional purchase.

THank you. You are the first one you give me the full correct cmd line that actually woked.... could have saved myself a week if I'd found you first.....

thanks again.....

Windows wont recognize the dvd drive on my macbook pro :( how do i get the drive to show up?



[4MacSake]

@eddy1154 You should make sure the drive is listed and not disabled in Device Manager -Right click "Computer" in the start menu and click on "Properties" then click "Device Manager" at the top left corner of the window that pops up -OR- by typing "Device Manager" in the search box of the start menu and hitting the Enter key. Also make sure you allow an appropriate amount of time for the drive to spin up the disc (this time can vary between machines) before opening the command prompt.

[Peoplejarn]

Hey dude your an awesome man. I ended up using a Mac osx cd that came with my laptop instead of my desktop computer. If anybody needs help with knowing what cd to use, message me!

Thanks again.

I love you
