Vista install CDs to DVD

E

Emil

Hello,
I've downloaded from my university's msdn website Windows Vista Business
Edition. The problem is that it's on 5 CDs (there's no DVD option available
yet), so I have a question: can I unpack somehow these CD's and create a DVD
bootable install disk instead ?

I'll answer myself: yes it's possible. Solution is simple, copy the content
of all 5 CD's to one directory, than create bootable DVD in Nero (for
example), using the bootimg.iso that is used during creation of bootable XP
disc.
