Making bootable DVD from copied windows disk file

[kbthakur]

One day I without any reason had copied the files from a windows 7 dvd along with the activation code on my pc. But unfortunately the original disk is missing now. Can I now make a bootable dvd from that copied file of the disk? And how ?

A copy of the files on the disk won't be bootable. Saving the disk as an ISO file would have enabled you to make a usable disk. You should be able to download an ISO for Windows 7 from Microsoft.

2. If you need to install or reinstall Windows 8.1, you can use the tools on this page to create your own installation media using either a USB flash drive or a DVD.
3. If you need to install or reinstall Windows 7 you can use this page to download a disc image (ISO file) to create your own installation media using either a USB flash drive or a DVD.

You can create a bootable DVD with some third-party backup tools. pretty sure they can do it well. free ones are easeus todo backup free, Macrium reflect free and paragon backup&recovery free.
