hi all,

wonder if someone could help me out (new to this, sorta getting my head around it all).

ive made my new windows vista iso with all sorts of components removed, and then i xcopy the iso file to a usb flash drive.

BUT - i cant boot from the usb hdd, i get a msg saying 'no boot manager found'.

im sure its an easy one, any help would be appreciated.

thanks

There's a guide here:

Basically, you're not supposed to xcopy the ISO file (if that's what you did) but rather the contents of the ISO.

Weird, try this one, I made a quick TinyURL:

Mount the .iso file you created in Daemon Tools or your inferior virtual disc program of your choice and then open the drive in windows explorer and copy the contents from there to the flash drive.
