However, Microsoft gives you a tool to create boot disk and system image, you can use those to achieve your goal.

It's possible. 1) dd can do the job as others have pointed out. Clone to image or image to physical disc. 2) Use whatever other CD/DVD burning software you choose (CLI or GUI tool).

I've cloned a Win7 DVD to an ISO for PC repair work. I've also used that ISO to install a Win7 VM on KVM. And yes, it is possible to write the ISO to a USB drive and make it bootable. Use your favorite search engine and you'll find a few articles on it. It has been some time since I did it, but it did indeed work. official ISO downloads. Check the url below for windos7. The same forum I believe provides links to all the other Windows versions as well. http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.12325/page-2#post-124821 That might be. But why use the bandwidth and waste the time downloading something one already physically has? -- ---~~.~~--- Mike // SilverTip257 // ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It's a trivial problem and one that won't come to light unless a person is illegally distributing install discs and what not. Furthermore it doesn't matter in the whole scope of things so I'll stop here being off-topic. This is kind of philosophical question. Will you be able to reverse engineer closed source google portion of Android kernel? With some knowledge, yes. Will you be able to admit you did it (without risk of getting into jail for illegal activity)? Definitely: No. It is reverse engineering that is made by the law in many countries that is illegal. So we are being carried away from the topic more and more... Yet, even when we disagree with some laws, the wisdom would suggest to obey, and fight them legal way. And keep warning about what is not legal so others do not get into trouble (and develop appropriate attitude?).
