Windows 7 Online Download

I'm using parallels for the first time. I bought Windows 7 online as a download, so I don't have a CD to input when parallels asks for one. How can I get it started without the cd?
Thanks!

 

Does it download as an .iso image file? If so then set the virtual CD/DVD to use the image file (Use the Choose an image file option in the Create New Virtual Machine window of the New Virtual Machine Assistant).

 

it downloads in three parts (directly from the windows 7 website) - i tried it that way but it doesnt work.

 

What kind of parts? Are they .rar or .zip or something else? Are they parts of an .iso? What are the file names? Put the parts together before using it with Parallels.

 

Yes they are part of an ISO. One downloads as "Windows7_Home_Premium_ISO_32bit.iso.dlm". The second downloads as "bootsect.exe". I don't know how to put them together.

The download manager is supposed to handle the dlm file.

Bootsect.exe:

This command line utility is for setting the boot record. I don't think you'll use it.

 

Thank you for that. I finally got it to download.
