dustintinsley Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Ok, I finally broke down and bought a new laptop. It has Vista installed, but I want to do a fresh install using vLite. Dell sends out a recovery DVD with it's laptops that has the Windows Vista OS on it. How can I use that DVD to make a vLite install DVD? I tried to make one, and the vLite program works and burns, but when I try to boot the DVD, I get an error message about a component being missing.

dustintinsley Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 tried again with the same result. any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Does that Recovery DVD installs when used without removing any components from it?I mean if it is the recovery DVD it's not supported by vLite, at least removals...try keeping the Component Cache if you remove it.

dustintinsley Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 nuhi: yes, if i use just that dvd, it works fine. i haven't removed the component cache from the vLte install. The file structure oin that DVD is the same as a Vista Install DVD, as far as can tell. I wonder why it wion't work properly with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScifiMike12 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) The EXACT same thing is happening to me too with my Dell laptop OEM disk.I got an Dell OEM Ultimate disk with my laptop and when I try to vlite anything or change any of the settings I get an error when I'm doing a clean install. I don't think I will be able to use this program on my disk afterall.... EDIT: Nevermind.. holy crap am I stupid or just really tired atm because I found out that I was suppose to convert my ISO standard into UDF format. After I did this and ran Virtual PC to test the image it worked PERFECTLY! So my is now a Mike. Edited February 24, 2007 by ScifiMike12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
