[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1775524, member: 42497"] You will need to use the internal optical drive to boot off the CD. As a rule, external do not seem to work. Alternatively, you can download Windows 7 as an .ios file and then burn it to a USB thumb drive, pop in the drive, reboot, hold down Option and it should boot. Go into Utilities and format the drive MS-DOS and proceed. It is necessary to enter the activatipon code tl download the .iso file so it will have to be a code acceptable to Microsoft and not in use on any other m,achine. From experience Microsoft can be pretty touchy about this. [url]https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows7[/url] [/QUOTE]
