Hey maherz, I created a boot disk of the September version and everything works fine but i can only start windows if i have the boot disk in the cd drive. So i was wondering is there anyway to boot windows without the disk, Also can updates be used?

You need to set your first boot device to your hard disk in the BIOS.
Regarding updates, yes you can turn them on.
Good luck.

Hi, I recently installed this version on my netbook from a usb drive. After installation, I still have to boot from the usb drive.. without it I get a disk error. I installed it onto the hard drive, not the usb drive. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it. please help. 

What error do you get?
Besides, you need to set your first boot device to your hard disk in the BIOS.

Thanks for the reply. I will try it again.

Do I have to install the drivers for this install, or else is it pre installed?

You need to install the driver for your network card.
Use Driver Pack Solution or any other drivers tool.
Good luck.

What option did you use on PowerISO? Burn image file?
Or you just copied the ISO file into the CD using PowerISO?
