Create Vista DVD

Recommended Posts

Hello all

I got Vista through eAcademy, but the download is not an ISO or DVD or whatever.

My problem is therefore to create a DVD, that can boot the Vista installation.

So what I'm missing is the bootimage thing, that can go into the ISO.

I tried the cdimage command from:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=10251

Version: Official Windows Vista Beta 1. Build unknown.

... but with no luck.

So can anybody help me?

Thanks!

Regards

Hello

The copy is downloaded from Microsoft, so what do you mean "the real version" is ISO...

I have friends who downloaded it also, but they didn't get it as an iso either. They installed XP first, and then upgraded to Vista. I would just prefer to get a clean install...

But can anybody post or send me the bootimage from their DVD or so? I would really grateful!!!

Thanks!

First of all ths is the site i get my Vista from.

These are all bootable Iso versions.

So if you are getting the real version then it bootable.

Plus a little note MS does not recommend upgrading from

any version of windows yet.

Hello again

I would properly agree with you if I was downloading from the same location as you, but I am not.

I download from:

http://www.e-academy.com/

In my basket I see:

Software Title Qty Item

Windows Vista (Longhorn) Professional Edition Beta 1 1 Download

I download a piece of software, that downloads the actual content of the DVD from my university. It then unpacks it into a folder I decide. The content of the folder is then:

Boot

Docs

Drivers

Sources

Support

autorun.inf

boot.ini

readme.htm

readme.txt

setup.txt

So am I missing something, or should I complain about it not beeing an ISO, and try to get another version?

Hope you can help!

Thanks!
