maxXPsoft Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) you use \boot\etfsboot.com with Vistacreate an Iso with CDIMAGE or mkisofs.exe and then burn with Nero is easiest. I'm currently converting to mkisofs myselfCDIMAGE -lVISTA_UA -t07/11/2008,03:39:40 -h -j1 -m -bE:\uaDVD\boot\etfsboot.com E:\uaDVD E:\ISO\VISTA_UA.iso Edited July 12, 2008 by maxXPsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corn~Julio Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the replyNot to be thick headed but I take it you cant just burn it with the same settings as xp it requires an iso of the files first?And if thats the case......... brain freeze........ alright at least I have a start point I can work on the rest.... thx Edited July 12, 2008 by Corn~Julio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
