Hello

I have been given 3 rar files of win 7 beta, I have a license number to register it. However I am unable to open it into a bootable form. Does anyone have any ideas how to open this please?

hi, a rar file is a compressed file format so you first have to unzip the files ,then burn the unziped files to dvd , look on the net for a program called winrar to unzip them

Hello,

Product keys are still avaliable Windows 7 RC Prod Key. All you need is a hotmail/live account and is free. The RC lasts longer than the beta.

Just noticed now.

If you know someone who has the RC you can still get the product key.

Hi
Well thank you to all who have contributed, I unzipped it then burnt it to a disk, but forgot to make the disk a bootable disk. So I will need to get another pack of disks today then try again. I will let you know what happens. Again thank you.
