Why would Home Premium not have mobility center. Most laptops have HP and Mobility Center is a great bonus :(

If Home Premium doesnt have mobility center, business's selling laptops will have to either upgrade to a higher vista or down to a lower vista.Sounds like Home premium is going to be windows 7's Vista Business ( if you know what i mean)

Hi bhudson,

Are you using Win 7 now ?

The Win7 .iso file can be burned to recordable dvd using Win 7 included isoburner.

Do not format the dvd - if Autoplay pops up, just close it.

Right click on the Win7 .iso, you should get an option "Burn disc Image". If you do not get that option, select open with, highlight windows disc burner.

Otherwise, use this - click the three little dots on the left to browse to the Win 7 .iso, select a speed below the max of your dvd drive and recordable dvd.

View attachment boot-cd-iso.zip

Hope it helps
