Для того, чтобы установить Windows 7 на компьютер, требуется загрузочный диск или загрузочная флешка с дистрибутивом операционной системы. Судя по тому, что Вы попали сюда, Вас интересует именно загрузочный диск Windows 7. Хорошо, подробно расскажу, как его создать.

Что нужно, для того, чтобы сделать загрузочный диск с Windows 7
Для создания такого диска в первую очередь потребуется образ дистрибутива с Windows 7. Образ загрузочного диска — это файл ISO (имеется в виду, он имеет расширение .iso), который содержит в себе полную копию DVD-диска с установочными файлами Windows 7. Если у Вас есть такой образ — отлично. Если нет, то:
- Вы можете скачать оригинальный образ iso Windows 7 Максимальная, но при этом учитывайте, что при установке у Вас будет запрошен ключ продукта, если Вы его не введете, то будет установлена полнофункциональная версия, однако с ограничением на 180 дней.
- Создать образ ISO самостоятельно из имеющегося у Вас диска с дистрибутивом Windows 7 — воспользовавшись для этого соответствующей программой, из бесплатных можно порекомендовать BurnAware Free (хотя странно тогда, что Вам потребовался загрузочный диск, ведь он уже есть). Еще вариант — если у Вас есть папка со всеми файлами установки Windows, то можно использовать бесплатную программу Windows Bootable Image Creator для создания загрузочного образа ISO. Инструкция: Как создать ISO образ
Создание загрузочного образа ISO
Также нам потребуется чистый диск DVD, на который мы будем записывать этот образ.
Запись ISO образа на DVD для создания загрузочного диска Windows 7
Существуют различные способы записать диск с дистрибутивом Windows. На самом деле, если Вы пробуете сделать загрузочный диск Windows 7, работая в этой же ОС или в более новой Window 8, Вы можете кликнуть правой кнопкой мыши по файлу ISO и выбрать в контекстном меню пункт «Записать образ на диск», после чего мастер записи дисков, встроенный в операционную систему проведет Вас по процессу и на выходе Вы получите то, что хотели — DVD, с которого можно установить Windows 7. Но: может оказаться так, что этот диск будет читаться только на Вашем компьютере или же при установке операционной системы с него будут возникать различные ошибки — например, Вам могут сообщить о том, что не удалось прочесть файл. Причина этого в том, что к созданию загрузочных дисков нужно подходить, скажем так, аккуратно.
Запись образа диска следует проводить на минимально возможной скорости и не с помощью встроенных средств Windows, а используя специально предназначенные для этого программы:
- ImgBurn (Бесплатная программа, скачать на официальном сайте http://www.imgburn.com)
- Ashampoo Burning Studio 6 FREE (бесплатно скачать можно на официальном сайте: https://www.ashampoo.com/en/usd/fdl)
- UltraIso
- Nero
- Roxio
Есть и другие. В самом простом варианте — просто загрузите первую из указанных программ (ImgBurn), запустите ее, выберите пункт «Write image file to disk», укажите путь к загрузочному образу ISO Windows 7, укажите скорость записи и нажмите иконку, изображающую запись на диск.
Записать iso образ Windows 7 на диск
Вот и все, осталось немного подождать и загрузочный диск Windows 7 готов. Теперь, установив в BIOS загрузку с компакт-диска Вы можете установить Windows 7 с этого диска.

How to Make Bootable DVD Windows 7 using rufus?
Rufus is a free and open source utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives. It is widely considered to be one of the best tools for creating bootable USB drives.
To create a bootable DVD with Rufus, you will need a blank DVD and the ISO file of the Windows 7 operating system. Once you have these two items, you can follow these steps:
1. Download Rufus from the official website (https://rufus.ie/).
2. Launch Rufus and select the ISO file of Windows 7.

However, if you want to install Windows 7 from the DVD, you will need to have a valid product key. Otherwise, you can use the DVD to boot into the Windows 7 recovery environment. Rufus doesn’t provide a Mac version, so if you’re on a Mac, you’ll need to use another tool such as Boot Camp or Parallels Desktop.
How Do I Know If My ISO Is Bootable?
The easiest way to determine if an ISO file is bootable is to check the file structure. Most bootable ISO files will have a bootable image file (usually named «boot.img» or «boot.iso«) and a bootloader file (usually named «isolinux.bin» or «syslinux.bin«). If these files are present, then the ISO is likely bootable.
Another way to check is to burn the ISO to a disc and try to boot from it. If the ISO is bootable, then the computer should be able to boot from the disc.
Finally, some ISO files may have a special «boot flag» set that indicates that the file is bootable. This flag can be checked with the «fdisk» command line tool.
