Hmmm….I just asked basically the same question and I spent the last few hours banging my head against the monitor trying to figure it out.  What you need is a boot disk…the installer will allow you to install from an ISO on your HDD only on 8.0 (I tried on 7.0).  I’m hesitant (wisely, I think) to attach the boot image and the rawrite utility over the list.  You might be able to get it online w/ a google search.  Once you have the boot disk you will be able to get to your ISO file on your HDD no problem.  I did this 5 minutes ago and it worked great.

 

If you can’t find the disk online, write back and I’ll attach it to you only.

 

And if you’re running windows, there’s a messed up way of working around this with a program called iso2fcd in combination with a virtual cd rom program.  If that sound like something you’re interested in, I’ll tell you about it after I get some sleep…*yawn*

Is there any way around using a CD burner with my downloaded ISO file?

 

My computer does not have a CDR, so the only way would be to extract the files to the HD and work from a bootable floppy. I have no idea if this is possible, and if yes, how to do it ?!
