I need to rip a windows ISO off of a disk so that I can put windows 8.1 on my cd driverless machine. Also if I rip an ISO off my win 8.1 disk will I still b able to use the disk if the usb method does not work? I need a good program to rip an ISO file off of the windows disk
You could just grab the iso file from here http://www.mydigitallife.info/windows-8-1-update-official-downloads-kb2919355-microsoft-download-center/ for whatever version of win8 you have a key for.
Once you get it loaded from whatever method works just use your key. If for some reason your key is not working then call Microsoft and tell them your situation but make sure you use the correct iso file for the version you paid for
