Windows 7 dvd

[AKP]

I have a Dell windows 7 hp sp1 dvd. i need to install the same on an msi laptop.i hav a spare key but no dvd.

someone said that i can make another disk bootable with any laptop from this.i have Linux on my msi currently..

please help. i believe removing the Dell drivers would help. anyone has any idea how to do it? very urgent.

Use Your DVD as it is.AFAIK you only need to install msi drivers later,dont worry about dell drivers.

BTW you can use Vlite to customize Windows 7 Installation DVD.

Okay thanks sujeet..

i had a windows xp pro which i got with a old Dell, i couldn't use it with any other systems.that's why i asked.

i'll try in the evening and see if it works,else i'd do it with vlite as you suggested.

If you have Dell Windows 7 OEM DVD, you can use it to install on any laptop, the condition is, you will have to provide a NEW PRODUCT KEY during setup on Non-Dell laptop.
