How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc

1a) Here is very useful article from PCWorld.com. The article is entitled "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" and means just what it says. The article also has links to Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder and legitimate Windows 7 ISOs from Digital River, a licensed distributor of Microsoft software. The article lists "Step 1" as;
"Find your Windows 7 product key: Typically this 25-character alphanumeric string is printed on a sticker affixed to your PC or on documentation included with your PC. Alternatively, you can use a keyfinder program such as Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to pull your product key from the Registry. You need your product key to reinstall Windows."
1b) Using a key finder, however, is only useful if the Windows 7 product key was printed on a sticker (Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity) affixed to your PC, on documentation included with your PC, or sent via email by Microsoft. Assuming your computer came from one of the big brand computer manufacturers... HP, Sony, Dell, Gateway, etc... as most do, it uses a generic "mass activation" OEM SLP key. Trying to use this key by itself isn't going to work. This OEM SLP key needs to be mated with an OEM SLP certificate and an appropriate OEM BIOS with a proper SLIC table.
1c) Here is where ABR Beta With Windows 7 Support comes to the rescue. Follow the "How to use it" section of ABR for Windows Vista for information and instructions on how to use ABR. The steps listed for Vista apply to Windows 7 as well. Perform the "activation backup" to "backup" and save the OEM SLP key and OEM SLP certificate. Save the entire ABR folder to an external location for later use. This will allow you to pre-activate your "clean" Windows 7 install on the computer you pulled the key and certificate from.
1d) Now install Windows 7 from your new "Windows 7" disc or USB stick, following all prompts as needed. Don't enter a Windows 7 product key if request. Also, don't allow Windows to try to auto-activate. Once Windows is fully installed, run ABR "activation restore" to "restore" the previously backed up product key and certificate to the new Windows 7 install. Verify that Windows is activated, repeat "activation restore" if needed.
2) Here is another useful article, this time from SevenForums.com. This arcticle is entitled "Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7" and provides detailed steps required to backup your computer, audit current hardware and software, locate software and drivers, install and activate Windows 7, and create a Windows 7 Backup Image of your fresh install.
Good luck.
Links to additional Windows 7 SP1 "Editions" and "Languages" can be found HERE and HERE.
Link to "ei.cfg Removal Utility". The "ei.cfg Removal Utility" is a simple tool that will remove the ei.cfg from any Windows ISO disc image, thereby converting the image into a "universal disc" that will prompt the user to select an edition during setup instead of being forced to use different discs for different versions of Windows 7.

ervis,
Before formatting the hard drive you should have been able to use the HP Recovery Manager to create your recovery discs or perform a system recovery. This is provided the recovery partition wasn't already corrupt or damaged. If the "D:" HP Recovery partition is missing or damaged and you don't have a set of HP Recovery Discs, you will need to use the information in my previous post to get your computer up and running again.
The information in the document referred you to applies to several different "types" of installations;
Using ABRbeta is only needed if you have an active OEM factory SLP (system locked preactivated) installation of Windows. You use ABR to pull the factory key and certificate off the computer, to reuse it on the same computer with a clean Windows install.
If you are just installing Windows and are going to use the Windows 7 product key on the COA on the side of your computer, all you need to do is download the same version of Windows that your key is for and burn the ISO. Now install Windows answering or following all prompts as needed (except do not enter the Windows product at this time... it will be entered later). Once Windows has completely installed, enter the key and activate it. Your Windows 7 OA key should work on a SP1 install without issue.
The only thing I see that could mess things up, is the language of the install. If you are still having trouble activating Windows, please reference the ISO you download and a post a photo of your Windows COA
with the key erased or Xed out.
Please send KUDOs

How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?

How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?
My optical drive is non-functional and I want to dual boot with win7. The only problem is my macbook does not boot from USB at all, even when I hold th ALT key down when it is starting up.
-I have a flashdrive with win7 on it.
-I mounted the ISO of win7 with toast for bootcamp to do its thing.

Good luck.
Consider this a bump so that hopefully someone with better news spots your thread.

How do i install windows 7 without a disc

I've purchased Windows 7. I'd like to run it on my MacBook Air, it is a mid 2013 13" running 8 Gig of RAM. As one would know I don't have an optical drive to read the disc that came with the package. I was told by an apple store rep that discs aren't used anymore and that it would be downloaded with the serial number (or something like that) through the web. Please help...

You can create a disk image of the Win install program. Its rather simple. You can also install the DROP DMG program on mac, and create a disk image (dmg) of the Win7 OS DVD and copy that onto a flash drive if you arent inclined to buy an external DVD player

Can I just install windows 7

I have a new lenovo laptop installed with windows 8 (I don't have the model number), sold in the US. I have a completely legitimate windows 7 disc (sold in the UK). Can I just install windows 7, assuming I don't care about windows 8 (I have no interest in dual booting, and have no data on the laptop)?
Speculation about legal issues not required.

Yes, just turn off secureboot in the BIOS. Windows 7 will not boot on a new windows 8 machine that has secureboot on.
nothing legal to speculate on, as you bought a retail DVD.

Can I install Windows 7 without the disk?

I can download Windows 7 through my college, so I won't get the disk, is it possible to install through Boot Camp without the 7 disk?

They are both right. Hatter's reply would be perfect if you were at a college or university that provides Windows 7 to students through a site license. Some schools provide the physical media - a bootable installer DVD. Other schools provide a download of a special installer package usually in the form of a Windows executable - filename.EXE. Unfortunately, you cannot use it on a Mac. You have to run it on a Windows computer in order to extract the ISO disc image. Some schools can just provide you with the ISO disc image. Once you have the ISO image on your Mac you can burn it to a blank DVD-R that can be used to install Windows 7 on your Boot Camp partition.
An alternative to Boot Camp is to use Parallels, or VM Fusion, or VirtualBox to create a virtualization of Windows on the Mac that runs concurrently with OS X. You also have the advantage that VM software will install Windows from the ISO disc image instead of needing it burned to a DVD. VirtualBox is freeware.

Install windows 7 without bootcamp

Hi everyone I discovered a way to install windows 7 without boot camp, i'm not sure if its also applicable with original windows 7 cd, but here goes, I wanted to install windows 7 completely in my optical bay hdd, i couldn't because you cannot boot up with external super drive...
Step 1: take out primary os x lion hdd out and put your secondary hdd in there
Step 2 put the super drive in its place
Step 3 install os x lion in an external drive (don't use your primary drive) you only need recovery HD
Step 4 run recovery HD from external drive
Step 5 press the apple logo and restart system
Step 6 boot up pressing the option key
Step 7 there should be a windows cd and a EFI cd
Step 8 click the windows cd
Step 9 install windows 7
Step 10 install the apple drivers
Step 11 put the clean windows 7 drive in the optical bay
Step 12 put the primary drive in the primary sata slot
Turn on and enjoy
I'm going to try this with vista and xp whenever i have time and create the ISO file...

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a junky Windows PC, and save a few bucks to pay off your credit cards that get tapped by the next malware that hits?
Oh, I see, Windows users now realize that the MacBook Pro is a superior piece of technology, but they need their Windows on it. I can accept that.
Actually I just bought a new Dell Latitude E6420. Installed 8GB of RAM, a 120GB Intel SSD, moved the 750GB Seagate drive I originally installed to a optical by caddy. Nothing junky about that PC.
But if you read this forum you will see a ton of posts about junky Apple hardware.
There is nothing superior about the Mac. It is a computer. It reads and writes 1s & 0s. It is now based on the i386 (x86) plateform/architecture.
Just to let you know both PCs and Macs use the Exact Same Hardware. The 8GBs of RAM and the 750GB HDD I installed in the Dell were originally in a 13" MBP I had and returned.
About the only real difference between the 2 is the HDD format and file structure. Windows uses a registry, which is really a grouping of 3 different files. Mac's use .plist files which can number in the 10s to god knows what number. Apps on a Mac are not just one file or one group of files all in the same directory, kind of like Windows where files of different types get put in different folder all over the hard drive and OS structure.
Ok I'm done with that subject.
I have not had any viruses or trojans or whatever on any of my PCs for over a decade and I haven't used any anti virus software for over 3 years.
I like the Mac for somethings and I like PCs, I'm not a Mac or a PC snob. But I do have Windows installed on my Mac computers and if I could, easily, I would have OS X installed on my Windows based hardware. But Steve Jobs has seen fit to make that almost impossible. If he hadn't no one would buy his hardware.

I want to install windows 8 without bootcamp ...

So here is what I did step by step:
1. make partition via disk utility and format using MS-DOS / FAT
2. Insert windows cd and restart
3. Hold C when it's booting up
4. It goes right away to windows installation, and when I see my partition, I choose the partition i made from disk utility
5. On the "where do you want to install Windows" menu (with many partitions on the screen where you supposed to choose which one to install windows), I can't install windows yet, so I click Drive Options, then Format, but after I format the partition, I still can't click Next
Some said that I need to make the partition via disk utlity using NTFS, but I still can't install
It stucks on the "where do you want to install Windows" menu
Is it because the windows 8?
Or is it because Mountain Lion won't let you do this anymore?
All I want is to make 3 partitions since bootcamp limit only 2 partitions max.
I did successfully install windows 8 without any issue using bootcamp, but then again it was only 2 partitions.
I use VMware, and it takes your memory like crazy
*sigh*

I use VMware now, but it surely eats A LOT of memory
I can see that free memory is around 2GB, and after I hit VMware to run windows, memory left is around 30MB
Maybe I should buy another memory just for the sake of VMware?
I guess not, it's not worth it.
I really wish I can create triple partition like people taught out there on google.
But I can't make it happen

HT3986 Installing Windows 7 from Upgrade disc

I have a Windows 7 Upgrade disc, can I use it to install Windows? Apple documentation says you can and then later says you can't. Is there a way to install Windows with an Upgrade disc or not? If so, how?

Yes, I guess that's what I was deducing. So if I'm coming from Windows and had previously purchased an upgrade disc, the only way to get Windows on the Mac would be to buy the full Windows OS. Or I'd need to buy the full version of XP or Vista in order to use my upgrade disc...meh.

I'm trying to install windows 7 from Authentic Discs and it freezes while its completing the installation.
