Windows 7 can only be installed on one PC?

[dominican2589]

I have two computers that I am not using. I downloaded the official windows 7 and installed it on one of my computers. I no longer want that computer to be the one with windows 7. I put the DVD in my other computer but after it loads, I do not get the first window which asks you to select your language, etc. Is there a mechnism or something that prevents me from using the same DVD to install it on another computer? Am I going to have to burn another DVD so I can use windows 7 on my other PC?

Official Windows 7 DVD from where? Windows 7 is still in the beta form.

^i think he meant the "official Beta". You should be able to use it multiple times, as it is a beta. Try reformatting that drive/partition you are trying to install it on.

You can use the DVD to install multiple times. But you also have to make sure that the system meets the requirements. Along with that it may take upwards of 20 minutes to get the Install Now screen.
