[Solved] Installing 7 pro -- verr_not_supported?

Post by TerriS »

I'm running ubuntu 16.04
Trying to install windows 7 professional. I have a key.
When I select the iso image from my hard drive I get an error message as show below.
I've searched online but very few results on the pro version installation. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

"Could not get the storage format of the medium"
Seems to me the ISO is corrupted.

Download a Windows 7 ISO direct from Microsoft, not from some dodgy 3rd-Party Site.
