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

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.

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:

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

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?

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.
