If you grabbed a Windows 7 upgrade for $30 with a college email address, you might have discovered a file download instead of a DVD. The Download Squad blog details the transformation of that download into a bootable upgrade disc.
Not that your upgrade files wouldn't work, per se, but making an upgrade based on a batch of files you download doesn't leave you with much of a safety net if things go wrong. Download Squad's method involves one command-line trick, one program download, and one file copy. It's not too hard, especially for the price of having a fallback if you need to wipe your system or otherwise re-install it at some point.
