    You don't need to burn anything... just download the executable from the Dell support site and run it... it should "just work".

    Laptop crashes and will not boot to windows, have to do this in dos with cd or usb, but cannot burn an exe as an ISO.
    Swapped out the memory and it boots now.

    Got the bios flashed to A18, and Finally was able to install win7 64bit. Turned out to be a memory problem, not the bios as it said I had.
