Download the ISO as you did previously and burn the ISO to a
DVD.
Copy the whole image to a storage location you wish to run the upgrade from (a
bootable flash drive or a directory on any partition on the machine running the
pre-release build).
Open the file cversion.ini in a text editor like Notepad
Modify the MinClient build number to a value of 7100.0
Save the file in place with the same name
Run setup like you would normally from this modified copy
of the image and the version check will be bypassed.
bootable USB guide, here we assume that you are using
either Vista or Windows 7 to create a bootable USB.
1. Insert your USB (4GB+ preferable) stick to the
system and backup all the data from the USB as we are going to format the USB
to make it as bootable.
2. Open elevated Command Prompt. To do this, type in
CMD in Start menu search field and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Alternatively,
navigate to Start > All programs >Accessories > right click on Command
Prompt and select run as administrator.
3. When the Command Prompt opens, enter the following
command:
DISKPART and hit enter.
LIST DISK and hit enter.
Once you enter the LIST DISK command, it will show
the disk number of your USB drive. In the below image my USB drive disk no is
Disk 1.
4. In this step you need to enter all the below
commands one by one and hit enter. As these commands are self explanatory, you
can easily guess what these commands do.
SELECT DISK 1 (Replace DISK 1 with your disk number)
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
(Format process may take few seconds)
ASSIGN
EXIT
Don't close the command prompt as we need to execute
one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.
5. Insert your Windows DVD in the optical drive and
note down the drive letter of the optical drive and USB media. Here I use
"D" as my optical (DVD) drive letter and "H" as my USB
drive letter.
6. Go back to command prompt and execute the
following commands:
D:CD BOOT and hit enter. Where "D" is your DVD drive letter.
CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.
BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 H:
(Where "H" is your USB drive letter)
7. Copy Windows DVD contents to USB.
You are done with your bootable USB.
You can now use this bootable USB as bootable DVD on
any computer that comes with USB boot feature (most of the current motherboards
support this feature).
Note that this bootable USB guide will not work if
you are trying to make a bootable USB on XP computer.
