Installing Vista from a hard disk

[Guest]

Id like to know if i can install RC1 without writing it onto a dvd (i dont
have a dvd writer). eg. If i'd exctract it onto Drive C and want to install
it onto Drive D. Would it work? And when can i get a serial number, or does
it work without it?

You can mount the Iso image as an Virtual Drive with tools like "daemon
tools" or "alcohol 120%"

You musnt enter an Serial Key, but Vista expires after 14 Days without
activation.
