Reinstall Windows 7/Creating Installation Disk

Hi there,

I have Windows 7 installed on my Dell laptop. It came with W7 installed, and did not ship with any backup/installation disks. I have since reinstalled Windows 7 using a friends Dell Windows 7 DVD which he had shipped with a Dell PC. All went well and I

was able to reinstall, get my drivers etc no problem, but as a result I no longer have my Dell backup partition.

However I would now like to reinstall Windows again. I will be getting the DVD off my friend again and using it.

However I would like to know some things.

Can I create an ISO of this disk and burn it to my own blank DVD? so I won't have to ask him for the DVD if I decide I want to install again.

If not, is there anyway I can get a copy of Windows 7 for my own use? I have my Windows 7 license key, and it is a genuine copy, from Dell.

Thanks.
