i think there is no chance to do this. the only way is to buy DVD recorder.

Yeah. Even if you use a software like Daemon tools and mount the image, you will be able to access the files, but won't be able to boot off of it. However, once you do mount the DVD image, try running the Setup program from within Windows and see if you can install Vista.
