Vista

Hi,

I have the Vista setup in my XP folder, what I want to do is to burn it into a CD or DVD. But before doing this, I'm wondering if it's possible to burn the Vista image into a number of empty CDs? If that's not possible to do, then is it possible to get one of my used DVDs (bought from a store), load it up on PC, then delete everything on it and then finally burn the image onto that DVD? Cuz I just bought new computer parts and I'd like to install Vista on that new PC.

Thx.

Yeah I think you can... only works if you have a DVD-R drive.

Ya it's iso.

It's bootable but my new PC has no windows, so meaning I need a CD or DVD (With Vista on it) to install into this new PC. Again look at my top post for more detail

burning burning the iso on cd would mean splitting the file to fit on cd. i am assuming that the file is bigger than a cd, u can use a file splitter brogram to acheive this. but i suggest that u get the dvd drive first, burn the image then u can clean the hdd and reinstall vista.

Not necessarily caperjack, I have MSDNAA with my uni, and I can get a fully legal copy of vista downloaded from that as an ISO.
