It covers a new installation of Windows 7 onto a clean hard drive or from inside Windows, as well as multiboot installations.
Performing a New Installation of Windows 7
The three basic types of clean installation procedures are as follows:
• Install on a brand new disk or computer system
• Erase the disk, format it, and install
• Install into a new directory for dual-booting (see the multiboot discussion later)
If
you intend to use either of the first two methods, be sure your
computer can boot from a DVD (most newer computers support booting from a
DVD drive). Doing so might require changing the drive boot order in the
BIOS or CMOS, but try it first as-is. With no floppy disk inserted and a
clean hard disk, try the DVD drive next. The Windows 7 DVD is bootable
and should run the Setup program automatically.
Installation
takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the speed of your machine. Refer
to the following sections if you have questions about any steps in this
process.
Note: Windows 7 automatically applies the NTFS format to any disk partition upon which it is installed during a clean installation.
Typical Clean Setup Procedure
If
you're installing into an empty partition and you can boot an operating
system that is supported for the purpose of Setup (Windows Vista or
XP), just boot up, insert the DVD and choose Install Now from the
resulting dialog box. Then you can follow the installation step-by-step
procedure.
If
Windows doesn't detect the DVD automatically upon insertion, you must
run the Setup program, setup.exe, from the Start, Run dialog box (after
opening the Run dialog box, type D:/setup.exe; on Vista use the Start
menu Search box instead [using the corect letter for your DVD drive if
it isn't D]). The setup.exe application is located in the Sources
directory on the DVD. After the Setup routine starts, you can follow the
installation procedure step by step.
If your computer
has a blank hard disk or your current OS isn't supported, this process
changes. You must launch the installation process from the Windows 7 DVD
(this works only if you can boot from the DVD drive). Setup
automatically runs if you boot from the DVD.

Yet another setup method involves the network. To
initiate a network installation, you must create a network share of the
distribution DVD or a copy of the DVD on a hard drive. The destination
system must have network access, and the user account must have at least
read access to the installation files. Initiate Setup by executing
setup.exe from the network share. For example, from the Start, Run
command, or the Vista Start menu Search box, type this path: \\\
\sources\Setup. Setup recognizes an over-the-network
installation and automatically copies all files from the network share
to the local system before the first reboot.
Tip:
All versions of Windows 7, 32- or 64-bit, are included on the same DVD.
The product key that you enter during setup determines which actual
version of Windows 7 you end up with after the installation completes.
Keep your Windows 7 DVD and product key in a safe location after you've
performed your installation. It's useful for repairs of all kinds.
