Redhatcc Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) im in a weird situation... i have a laptop that wont boot to dvd (its a cd-rw and i dont have a drive i can put in there that is dvd), i tried booting to a dvd that was hooked up usb external but no sucess... Dell Inspiron 4100I thought about using vlite to take the ram restriction off but that only would work if i booted to dvd right? I was trying to install from within Windows XP which is what is loaded on it already but i keep getting ram error. help--------------------edit is there a way that i can burn vista to cd's instead of one dvd?

submix8c Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Won't swear to this (don't have Vista), but vLite (I think) will also allow this... Browse in the vLite section for a how-to.Here is a reference to my assertion (see last post) -http://www.msfn.org/board/Vista-in-5-CDs-c...ble-t94928.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Just out of curiosity, what are your expectations out of installing Vista on 256 Mb RAM?Anything more than XP on 20 Mb? http://www.winhistory.de/more/386/xpmini_eng.htm256 is below "common sense" threshold for XP, let alone Vista.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
