You need to select whatever your DVD burning program calls burning a disk
image. It will limit you to a small number of file types, one of which will
be ISO

Make sure your BIOS is set to boot from your DVD Drive.

Burning the ISO Image in NERO and Roxio Easy CD Creator:

NERO

Insert a Blank DVD, open Nero Start Smart > change the media type to DVD >
select Copy and Backup > click "Burn Image to Disc" > navigate to where the
Windows Vista BETA 2 Image is stored on your hard disk, (note: if you don't
see it, make sure the image file type is changed to "ISO" click Open and the
burning wizard will automatically start.



Roxio

Open Creator Classic > click File > "Record Disc from Image" > navigate to
where the Windows Vista BETA 2 Image is stored > click Open and the burning
wizard will automatically start.



Ensure that the ISO burns at a low speed, recommended speed, 2x for best
results.
