Need Windows 8 ISO file

My hard drive is at the verge of failing me so I bought a new one and it seems I have an OEM version of Windows 8 that was pre-installed on my laptop.
I need the ISO file to install Windows 8 on my new HDD but can't seem to find a clean copy and don't want to use Torrent as it may contain malware, etc...
Does anyone know if Lenovo sends replacement disks in such cases? My laptop is only 1 year-old and I surely don't want to buy a new version of Windows 8.
Thank you,
Solved!

My Z40-70, purchased 2 weeks ago, did not give the option to backup to DVD-R, says can only use a 16GB Flashdrive for a recover drive. looked under the Maintenance folder, where the create a restore disc was suppose to be, and it's empty.
How much does Lenovo charge for a Win8.1 Recovery Disc(s)? Always like to have them on hand in case of a bad hard drive, more so for later on when the warranty is over.
Z40 Laptop • i7-4510U • 8GB RAM • 1TB Hybrid HDD • 14" FHD (16:9) • GeForce GT820M / 2GB • BGN WiFi • Win8.1 x64

I am trying to reinstall Windows on my macbook pro. I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive. However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode."

I am trying to reinstall Windows (would not launch). I removed the partition and started over. I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive. However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode." I was successful before, what am I doing wrong this time?

Try a restart.
If that doesn't fix the problem, shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

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...

Could Apple Developers keep an eye on this?
Between you, me, & the woodwork, I doubt they're interested.

Need Windows 7 ISO

When I try to download the Windows 7 ISO from the Microsoft website, after entering the product key, I get this message:
"Unsupported Product
The product key you entered appears to be for software that was pre-installed on a device. Please contact the device manufacturer for software recovery options."
Does HP make the Windows 7 ISO available for download anywhere?
Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, Microsoft stopped allowing download of the iso unless you have a retail license key. HP does not offer a download-you will need to call HP Support in your region to order Recovery Media.

How can i implement ISO file structure on the JC?

I am a student who come from Taiwan.
My english is not very well and i an very sorry for that.
I will do my best to say what's the question mean and how can you help me .
My JC project need to use ISO file structure on the JC.
But there are no paper use chinese language about implement ISO file structure on the JC in Taiwan.
So i don't know how to implement ISO file structure on the JC.
Can anyone tell me where can i get paper and source code about implement ISO file structure on the JC？
Thanks for you view this question.
Erebus.

Nihao,
There is no documentation about this because ISO FileStructure is not supported in current JC specs. You can explore the JavaPurse project providet with the JC development kit form SUN and find there cyclic file implementation. All other implementations should be then programmed in similar way.
(And do not worry about your english, it is good enough. Better than my chineese ... couldn't even order a cab last year I was in Taipei .... )

Boot camp wont show the option for installing via iso file

version 5.0.2(462)
the boot camp doesnt show the option to install the windows via iso file
i wanna install windows 7 via an iso file
plz help me as soon as possible

That option is only available for Macs without a built-in SuperDrive (the MacBook Air, Mid 2011 and newer Mac minis, the Late 2012 iMac, and the MacBook Pro with Retina display).
If you haven't got one of those computers and Boot Camp Assistant doesn't show the option to install Windows 7 from a ISO file, your Mac doesn't support the Windows installation from a USB because it's restricted by firmware to a Mac without a SuperDrive. In this case, you have to buy Windows 7 on a DVD from eBay or Amazon, and use it to install Windows through Boot Camp.
If you still wants to install Windows from a ISO file, the only option is to install it on a virtual machine, using an application like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox

How Can I download a Windows 8.1 ISO file to my MacBook Pro for a VMWare Installation?

I am attempting to install Windows 8.0 into a virtual machine with VMWare Fusion 6.02. I've got XP running on an older MacPro so with VMWare so I'm somewhat familiar with how this works but by no means an expert. Foolishly I purchased a license for Windows 8.1 without doing any research on how to get the ISO file. I can download the .exe file to my MacBook Pro no problem but need to have the .iso file on external media in order to install using VMWare which is pretty straightforward (usually).
Can anyone help me with where I can download a full and legal copy of windows 8.1 in .iso format for a full, fresh, clean installation using VMWare Fusion 6.02?

How to I buy an ISO file of Windows 8.1 to install on my new MacBook bootcamp?
I can only find DVDs of Win 8.1; the online download is for upgrades from Win 7 only. I need a clean install version.

Yes, you can use a Parallels VM and run the Download Manager to download the Installation Media in a format of your choice. If your Mac has a built-in Optical drive, you can burn it. Please ensure you burn the DVD at the rate supported by the media. You should also verify the MD5sum/SHA1 for the downloaded file(s) using the Microsoft FCIV tool.

You need to run the .exe on a Windows machine, which is a Download Manager for the ISO. It will let you create a DVD, ISO or a USB media.
