Esta herramienta ha tenido una trayectoria similar a la del Guadiana: apareci\u00f3, desapareci\u00f3, y parece que ha vuelto a aparecer para quedarse. En octubre, Microsoft <\/strong>lanz\u00f3 Windows 7 USB\/DVD Download Tool<\/strong>, un programa gratuito que nos permite permite crear una copia de una imagen ISO de Windows 7<\/strong> en una unidad flash USB<\/strong> o en unDVD<\/strong>, y en noviembre lo retir\u00f3 debido a un uso ilegal de c\u00f3digo GPLv2<\/a>. Esta herramienta es especialmente \u00fatil en el caso deNetbooks<\/strong>, que no disponen de unidad de CD\/DVD.<\/p>\nAnteriormente, para instalar Windows desde USB<\/strong>, no val\u00eda con copiar los ficheros en el pendrive, sino que primero hab\u00eda que formatearlo, crear una partici\u00f3n primaria, hacerlo autoarrancable y entonces copiar los ficheros desde el CD de instalaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n Con esta herramienta, se pretende facilitar mucho esa tarea, ya que desde el momento en el que tengamos unaimagen ISO de Windows 7<\/strong>, ser\u00e1 coser y cantar poder instalar Windows 7 desde un pendrive USB<\/strong>. Eso s\u00ed, hay que tener en cuenta que el pendrive USB deber\u00e1 tener por lo menos 4 GB de capacidad.<\/p>\n Para poder utilizar Windows 7 USB\/DVD Download Tool<\/strong>, como requisitos previos, tendremos que tener instalados previamente:<\/p>\n – Microsoft .NET Framework v2<\/strong>. Si no lo tenemos instalado, lo podemos descargar de aqu\u00ed<\/a>. Podemos descargar el c\u00f3digo fuente de Windows 7 USB\/DVD Download Tool<\/strong> en este enlace<\/a>, ya que est\u00e1 disponible bajo licencia GPLv2.<\/p>\n Para descargar Windows 7 USB\/DVD Download Tool<\/strong>, lo haremos desde este enlace:<\/p>\n + Descarga Windows 7 USB\/DVD Download Tool<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n En SoftZone<\/strong><\/a>, como siempre queremos ayudaros a poder utilizar programas, os publicamos un minimanual de<\/strong>Windows 7 USB\/DVD Download Tool<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n Las im\u00e1genes que hemos utilizado en esta minigu\u00eda son cortes\u00eda de basicob,<\/strong> al que agradecemos su aportaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fuente: http:\/\/www.softzone.es\/2009\/12\/11\/windows-7-usbdvd-download-tool-disponible-de-nuevo-despues-del-error-de-microsoft-minimanual-de-uso\/<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————–<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n AYUDA DESDE LA PAGINA WEB OFICIAL DE MICROSOFT:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When you choose to download most software from the Microsoft Store, you have the option of using Download Manager or downloading from your browser. However, when you purchase Microsoft Windows 7 from Microsoft Store, you have an additional choice to make: whether to download a collection of compressed files or to download an ISO file. An ISO file combines all the Windows 7 installation files into a single uncompressed file.<\/p>\n These instructions are for Windows 7 only. If you’re looking for instructions about downloading Windows 8, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you choose to download an ISO file (so that you can create a bootable file from a DVD or USB flash drive), copy your Windows 7 ISO file onto your media and, run the Windows 7 USB\/DVD Download Tool. After you do this, you can install Windows 7 onto your computer directly from the USB flash drive or DVD.<\/p>\n NOTE: <\/strong>When you download the ISO file, you must<\/i> copy the file onto a USB flash drive or a DVD to install Windows 7. When you’re ready to install Windows 7, insert the USB flash drive into your USB port or insert your DVD into your DVD drive, and then run Setup.exe from the root folder on the drive.<\/p>\n The advantage to following this process and creating bootable media is that it allows you to install Windows 7 without having to first run an existing operating system on your machine. If you change the boot order of drives in your computer’s BIOS, you can run the Windows 7 installation directly from your USB flash drive or from a DVD when you first turn your computer on. (Please see the documentation for your computer for information about how to change the BIOS boot order of drives.)<\/p>\n To install the software, you may make one copy of the ISO file on a disc, USB flash drive, or other media.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n After you\u2019ve installed the software and accepted the license terms that accompany the software, those license terms apply to your use of the software. The license terms for Windows 7 permit you to make one copy of the software as a back-up copy for re-installation on the licensed computer. If you do not delete your copy of the ISO file after installing the Windows 7 software, the copy of the ISO file counts as your one back-up copy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If you need to download the software again, you can go to your Download Purchase History in your Microsoft Store account and access the download there.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n To install the Windows 7 USB\/DVD Download tool:<\/strong><\/p>\n Click to open the Windows 7 USB\/DVD Download tool<\/a> installation file. (aqu\u00ed desde promocionalia)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n When you are prompted to either save the file to disk or run it, choose Run<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Follow the steps in the setup dialogs.

The tool requires the Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 or higher.<\/p>\n System requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Pentium 233-megahertz (MHz) processor or faster (300 MHz is recommended)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 50MB of free space on your hard drive<\/p>\n<\/li>\n DVD-R drive or 4GB removable USB flash drive<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n For Windows XP users<\/strong><\/p>\n The following applications must be installed prior to installing the tool:<\/p>\n Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 must be installed. It can be downloaded here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Microsoft Image Mastering API v2 must be installed. It can be downloaded here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n Before you run the Windows 7 USB\/DVD Download Tool, make sure you have already purchased the Windows 7 ISO download from Microsoft Store and have downloaded the Windows 7 ISO file to your hard drive. If you have purchased Windows 7 but have not yet downloaded the ISO file, you can download the file from your Microsoft Store Account.<\/p>\n To make a copy of your Windows 7 ISO file:<\/strong><\/p>\n Click the Windows START button, and click WINDOWS 7 USB\/DVD DOWNLOAD TOOL in the ALL PROGRAMS list to open the Windows 7 USB\/DVD Download Tool.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n In the SOURCE FILE box, type the name and path of your Windows 7 ISO file, or click BROWSE and select the file from the OPEN dialog box.
