This site has ALL versions of Windows7 available as ISO's that you can burn to disc yourself.

These are safe, clean and "unscrewed with", the only downside is that you will need a windows product key
(CoA) if you need them to run for more than the 30day trial period.

Be aware you should NEVER enter a windows product key BEFORE you get the computer working in all respects
(in other words when it prompts you to enter the key before the installer runs SKIP THAT PAGE)

I have used these on MANY computers with both NEW purchased CoA keys
and OEM installer keys

One note, DO NOT use these installers if you are reinstalling windows7 on a Dell that came from the factory
with windows7, use a pressed Dell reinstaller
(ANY Version of windows7 will work and activate automatically on ANY Dell that was factory built with Windows7)

in any case you will still need to install drivers and such, but if you can burn an ISO to a DVD you probably already know that...

ENJOY!

Just in case someone here doesn't believe AllanD, I wanted to second that these are clean download links. DigitalRiver is the official distributor for Microsoft. It's who you download from if you buy on Microsoft's website.
