I usually do it this way because CD hash counts are wrong or cheap CD won't complete installation give an error message about a driver missing. I know this is a hash count/Cd quality issue because I use the same iso file to load rufus and it works when the...

My moms computer has died and I am building a new one for her. What I need to know is if I can install her existing Windows 7 on the new system or do we have to get a new copy ? I'm not exactly up to speed on how all this works but I gather that the OS kind of attaches it to the hardware and this info is used with activation/registration and that the new install might fail because of the...

But then again, it *has* been working, else I would not have been able to install Windows in the first place. This was just...
