Hi Tony, If you can save the disk as an ISO format file then you could use that image to install I believe Otherwise I would suggest obtaining a USB optical drive and installing from that.
As for installing without sight, To a point yes, When you start the vm fusion installation the vm wizard asks all the questions such as name of machine, licence key drive size ram etc, but it’s once that part is done and you have to pick language in the windows setup that things get scratchy. If you have a usb sound card or speakers that you can connect to the new vm then you might get narrator working I haven’t done it for a few years with windows 7 but have with server 2012r2 and things are very similar.

I want to install it on my macbook pro, but it has no disk drive. Would I be able to copy the disk from a windows laptop to a network drive then install Windows 7 off of the network drive to my macbook using VM Fusion? Also, is there a way to do the Windows installation without sighted assistance? Is voiceover involved, or can I activate narrator to assist me? I’m really looking forward to getting this done. Thanks for any help. Tony Santiago ts_...@verizon.net<mailto:ts_...@verizon.net> -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
