hiro1000 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) Its a nice reduction of file size. My clarified question is whether it is possible to have a hard drive run as a "DVD" in essence install Vista from another hard drive instead of a DVD or CD. Any help is appreciated.Edit: Vista installed Fine, 5.12 gigs fresh install. Took like 20 min. Edited February 5, 2007 by hiro1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 only thing you could do *, is to extract the iso to some folder, & start the setup from within windows.And then tell it to install fresh on some other partition which is just formatted.*unless vLite manages to break down the dvd into multiple CDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
