All Vista .iso images from MSDN and TechNet are the images of bootable
discs. All that is required is transferring back to shiny media using the
"burn image to disc" function in any burning program. It is good practice
to burn at the slowest speed available if you experience problems.

I have the same issue with the iso from MSDN's website. After reading the
posts here I'm begining to believe the iso files do not include the system
files to make the disk bootable. I have also checked my BIOS.

This way you should not go wrong.

Ok, I have burned both the .iso file, and have used MagicISO to turn it
into
files and folders. I still cannot get it to boot with either of them.
I
have setup the dvd drive as the first boot source in bios, but it will
not
boot from cd. Thanks for your answers so far.
