You MUST burn the Vista .ISO image to a DVD - there is NO
OTHER CHOICE!!! Since the .ISO is a mirror image of the original installation DVD it must be burned to disc as an image, not a data disc. In Nero the "Burn Image to Disc" is the necessary option to transfer the .ISO to a DVD. You cannot compress the image as it would never run if you did. If you don't have a DVD burner, then go buy one. You can find them on the web for less than $40.00. pmager03 wrote: i need to know if you have to burn the vista iso on a cd-r or dvd-r ? and possibly on a 700 mb disc? if so, what compression progran can I use? thank you |

Hi pmager03 :-)
Yes, as Theo said, it must be burned to a DVD. However, if you are only wanting to install it to your machine, you can download the iso to your hard drive, then mount the ISO and install it to your hard drive that. I recommend the Deamon Tool for this kind of installation: Daemon Tool - to mount Vista ISO for hard drive installation: http://www.free-downloads.net/programs/Daemon_Tools Hope this helps.

ISO-burner is a great tool to use to burn ISOs. It never failed me and
is a really easy to use one soft. I suppose you give it a glance "pmager03" wrote: i need to know if you have to burn the vista iso on a cd-r or dvd-r ? and possibly on a 700 mb disc? if so, what compression progran can I use? thank you -- Posted at author's request, using http://www.WinForumz.com interface Articles individually verified to usenet standards.

Has anyone ever heard of common sense or logic?
How would anyone expect to burn a 2.5GB, or so, image to a 700MB CD? The Vista image is already compressed, so the probability of compressing it anymore is slim and none. Can you put 5 gallons of milk in a 1 gallon jug? Triangle wrote: ISO-burner is a great tool to use to burn ISOs. It never failed me and is a really easy to use one soft.

What he's asking is can i fit 5 gallons of milk in 5 gallons jugs, still the answers no lol. You can't burn vista on multible 700mb discs it needs to be whole. Allthough, it is possible to run it with daemon tools and mount the iso to a "virtual" drive. If your computers down the crapper and can't load windows. You have 3 options 1 buy a legit copy of vista 2 buy a dvd burner so you can burn it or; 3 It is possible to boot vista from a usb memory stick. -- ApocalypsePrime |
