I'm wanting to make an ISO of my Win7 installation DVD, but cannot find anything "clean" out there to do so. I used to use ImgBurn, but its last release is now over 10 years old and according to legend, full of crapware, etc. Same for other programs in the freeware (as in beer) domain.
Where I'm headed with this is that I have an old, barely functional Win7 machine that has two irreplaceable programs on it. I want to make that drive into a VirtualBox instance so I'll have that software in the future. I created a VHD, then created a VBox machine, but it says it's missing an operating system and to mount an operating system install DVD ISO. |

I downloaded the isos from Microsoft when they were still available. Looks like archive.org still has em. Updating win7 is a pita, tho. |

Live boot Debian or Ubuntu. Put Win7 install ISO into your disk drive.
dd if=/dev/sr0 of=~/win7install.iso Just about the easiest way to do it. I don't deal with iso creation in Windows. |
