    Windows 7 Starter

    Anyone knows where I can get a copy of a Windows 7 Starter? I'm replacing a netbook hard drive. Used the delete ei.cfg from my retail Pro disk but can only get home basic as the lowest windows.

    It's what came with the netbook. It didn't come with any disk and can't access the recovery partition on a dead drive. Not mine either so not spending >$100 for a new OS.

    AFAIK, you cannot buy Win 7 Starter, it's made for OEMs of netbooks and cheapo computers. The Win 7 Starter DVD ISO is available at MSDN though if have a subscription.

    Problem solved, turns out starter is a 32-bit only os and I was trying to use my 64-bit disk. Just delete the ei.cfg from the 32-bit and starter comes up now.
