Windows 7 .iso image for bootcamp?

I have a mid-2012 13in macbook pro (non-retina). I need to install Windows 7 Home Premium on my computer using bootcamp. In Apple's "Boot Camp Installation and Setup Guide" it says there is an option to install Windows 7 with a .iso image instead of a dvd. I did this to get Ubuntu as well. But I would like to get the .iso image directly from Microsoft, like the apple guide says to. I don't see it anywhere on microsoft's website. Can anyone help?

an iso image is a carbon copy of an optical install disc
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_image
you can make any install optical disc into an iso file using tons of tons of free programs available for both windows,osx and linux

an iso you make from an official ms install disc would hold the same data as an iso file make by ms from one of their install disc

How do you install Windows 7 on Macbook Air with a Windows 7 ISO image?

Macbook Airs have no optical drives, and I can't buy one. I do, however, have the Windows 7 ISO image. And I also have access to a Windows 7 PC. I found an article on CNET on installing from a Flash Drive, but that requires the CD. I also have a hard drive (120GB) and Flash USB (4GB), if they could help. Please help me as many programs I am familiar with are only windows-based. I am tried using open-source software like Wineskin Winery and WineBottler, but to no avail, I always end up confused with them.Please help me.

Crjohnson, I think you can really help me!
Okay, how do you use Wine? I don't want to install lots of software like MacPorts, just want the minimal software. So there are many things like Wine, WineBottler, and Wineskin Winery. What do I use for what? For example, I want to turn a windows game (Age of Empires 2 for example) into a full Mac App. How would I go about this?
I tried researching but it is so in-depth with terminal commands and all(i dont want to risk ruining my computer)
What is crossover? Is it another wine app?
Oh, and I tried Winery Wineskin...why doesn't it work? It keeps installing random things like Gecko, or Mono, but in the end, it doesn't work. Do I need the windows app's executable, or the window's apps's installation executable??
What are engines, and how many do I need to create? I think the best thing for me is to learn wine, because installing windows with bootcamp isn't worth the effort, I think, with me having only a few apps i need to run.
As for learning mac apps only, well, Windows apps dominate the market with most of applications being made for windows, especially games, with 90% market. So for some apps, there just isn't a mac version available, or if there is, it's costly. (Which you already know I can't buy things)
You probably cannot afford to buy Crossover either. It is designed for user friendliness though, but of course Wine cannot run everything.
Yes you have to learn some things to use Wineskin. Normally on Gecko and Mono prompt, just cancel them. Gecko is needed if you have a program using mshtml (its basically a replacement for Internet Explorer for programs that use parts of it). Mono is a replacement for .NET if your program requires that. You do not want to install them if you don't need them as they will just waste space. You can always refresh the wrapper later on and get the same prompts if you find out you need them later.
You can copy the full installed version of a game inside the Wineskin wrapper and try to set it up that way, but its usually easier to just run the installer and install it inside the wrapper just like you'd install it in Windows.
An Engine is something you download... its basically a specific Wine build made for a Wineskin wrapper.
If you do not want to learn Wineskin enough to get in and port your programs yourself, you can often find other people who have done so (at least with games).
Check out sites like PaulTheTall.com who has tons of Wineskin wrappers already made and ready to go for many games... you just download the wrapper, install the game you want in it using the normal Installer, then its ready to go. Many you'll need to manually update yourself to Wineskin 2.5.8 though since all the older versions broke ok the OS X 10.8.2 and 10.7.5 update, and Paul hasn't gotten to all of them yet since he has hundreds (including AoE 2 i think).
There is also Portingteam.com which has tons of pre-made wrappers for games (Including Cider hacks from official games).
If your talking about non-Game apps though, you can normally find an alternative... many of which are free.

It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition. Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot. Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot. If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that. Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML. If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work.
At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD.
An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again. However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

ISO image for Sun Fire v60x diagnostics CD

The only thread I can find on this diagnostic CD is from 2006:
Re: ISO image for Sun Fire v65x diagnostics CD...
The link posted in the forum:
"Sun Fire(tm) V60x, V65x Diagnostic CD 4.0
This distribution offers the Diagnostic CD image (Sun Fire(tm) V60x, V65x Diagnostic CD Release 4.0) supporting Sun Fire V60z and V65z products.
http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=441f6709" (The download link on the page does not work).
Does not work due to the shift from Sun to Oracle.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the file? I've been searching for months.
Thank you.

Hello,
it should be possible to locate these files via the migrated (Sun) System Handbook.
This is a blog entry about the new location of the System Handbook (review the 3rd comment)
http://blogs.sun.com/patch/entry/goodbye_sunsolve_helloooo_mos
Maybe the user Nik (http://forums.oracle.com/forums/profile.jspa?userID=826741) can help to locate the download. He is very active on these forums and an Oracle employee.
I don't have a MOS account, otherwise I would have been able to confirm if this download is still available. I guess due to the fact that Oracle contracts are more "fine grained", it's possible that downloads only for the systems covered by your service contract are visible.

How to enable Windows 7 ISO file for iMac Computer

** extremely urgent
Dear Sir or Madam:
Due to my misunderstanding,an Apple Customer has purchased Windows 7 ISO file for his iMac Computer.
But, the fact is that Apple only allows this on computers that support booting from an USB drive (aka they don't have optical drive).
Though, whether i can adopt an non-recommendation folk prescription, i.e."http://www.codez4mac.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=212&t=61921"?
Are there any risk there ?
Please correct me ASAP.
Thank you !

Great news, thanks!
Not sure KB codes on what? Burning an ISO to DVD? Pretty Simple in Disk Utility, or the free Burn App...
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060619181010389
http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
Meanwhile, are there any risks there?
I doubt any "risk", only very likely thing is that OSX updates will likely rewrite the supported Macs file & if you had need to install Win7 again from ISO, then you'd need to edit that file again.
I think there was mention of this by Mike Breeden today, but the site is not available for the first time in years right now...
http://xlr8yourmac.com/
Could Apple Developers keep an eye on this?
Between you, me, & the woodwork, I doubt they're interested.
But...

How to convert Windows 8.1 .exe file to ISO image for installation via Boot Camp?

I have a late 2013 retina display MacBook Pro and want to use Boot Camp to run one piece of software that is run exclusively on Windows operating systems. I have a Windows 8.1 download from MS that is an .exe file, and I need to convert it (I believe) to an ISO image on a flash drive. How do I convert the .exe file to an ISO image?

If you want to use Mac OS X at the same time as Windows, run one of these:
VMWare Fusion
Parallels
Virtual Box (Open Source)
If you are willing to alternate Boot Windows -OR- Mac OS X, all you need is Bootcamp Assistant (and your Windows installer, of course.)
>>NB In any case, do not allow Windows to directly modify the Partition Map or change the size of any Partition. That will wipe out the Partition Map, and Mac OS X. Windows is not a pleasant guest.

Use existing windows 7 image for bootcamp

Is it possible to use an external hard drive for bootcamp? I'm getting rid of my windows 7 laptop and consolidating everything to just my Mac.

Nope - Windows via Boot Camp must be on your internal drive.

How to create ISO images for Solaris 10 U6 (10/08) SPARC CD 1 and DVD

The format of the bootable DVD and CD 1 of Solaris 10 U6 sparc has changed from previous Solaris 10 update's sparc media, it now seems to be more like the x86 format, can anyone provide the new/specific mkisofs command to use to recreate (modified version) a sparc bootable ISO image file of these from their "unloaded" directory paths, I'm guessing the mkisofs command is going to be similiar what's used for recreating Solaris 10 x86 DVD and CD1.

Alan,
Thanks for info, when I try this mkisofs command to recreate the Sol 10 U6 CD 1 ISO image I end up 16 KB short of the original downloaded ISO size of Sol 10 U6 CD 1, the generated ISO image when burn to CD doesn't boot, I tried using both mkisofs version that comes with Sol 10 U6 & version *2.01.01a53*, here's the test I did:
mount Sol 10 U6 CD 1 as /mnt (CD 1 burned from downloaded ISO from Sun that is *512904 KB* in size)
mkisofs -G /mnt/boot/hsfs.bootblock -B ... -l -ldots -R -N -D -V SOL_10_1008_SPARC -o test.iso /mnt
Genereated ISO image file test.iso is *512888 KB* in size and doesn't boot when burned to CD with error messages:
Can't read disk label.
Can't open disk label package
ERROR: boot-read fail
Any ideas?
