Installation Problems...

[TwiZ]

Ok I am having major issues installing vista. I was successful in installing vista on my smaller hard drive just by opening up the .rar archive...it runs great...no problems with the dual boot at all...what i am trying to do is format my computer completely and have vista installed on the major hard drive instead of xp...my problem is that the vista i downloaded is not bootable when you burn it to a dvd. i know that there are ways to make a cd bootable but i have no idea how to do this...if someone could help me out with this it would b great

another way that I THINK i could do this is by booting up to my vista on my g: drive and then formatting my c: drive? i know that it wont let me because my c: drive is the master drive of course...is there a way that i can format c: drive and then install vista onto that while im in my g: drive and then boot to my c: drive then format my g: drive to get rid of vista on there? im sorry if this sounds a lil confusing but it was the best way that i could explain it...thanx for all of your help

Which burner software do you use? I think the ISO's are the same. Try using nero and going to the file menu and click "BURN ISO"

worked for me.

Did you extract the ISO and burned the files to a DVD or burned the ISO as a file instead of an image. If you did one of those two then it won't work, you have to burn the DVD ISO as an image.

well what i did was extract it and burn it...i also tried to burn it as an iso using nero but it wouldnt let me do it cuz the file was too big...didnt make any sense to me but thats what it said...and the vista i downloaded was not in iso form
