No ISO?

Guest

I have downloaded the file from Microsoft's site. It came down as a RAR-file,
containing nothing but a .txt saying something about UDF. No ISO.

What should I do? I know pretty much nothing about this, so I could use all
the help I can get.

I read something here about burning the RAR to a DVD. Well, I'm not very
good at these things. I'm using CD Burner XP Pro. How should I do this? What
file should I burn? The RAR?

Also, there are three different choices when burning ISOs, Joliet, ISO Level
1 and ISO Level 2. Which should I choose?

If you have winrar or another rar type program on your computer, you need to edit its preferences so that it does not include .iso files

Not to be rude but why go to Vista if youre not that much into computer? -
currently its a RC1 and therefor still a part of the Evaluation Program/CPP.

Anyway, if you insist do this:

* download daemon tools from
http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php?mode=ViewCategory&catid=5
currently version 4.0.3 X86 and install it

* when finished, in the corner next to the clock a new icon, a red square
with a light in the middle representing Daemon Tools, has started

* right-click that icon and choose Virtual CD/DVD-ROM > Device 0 No Media >
Mount image

* browse your system and choose the so-called rar-file (even though its a
iso-file)

* now you have mounted the iso-file as a virtual DVD-device. Now you need to
burn it on fly

* open your burningprogram, dosnt matter which one, and as far as i know all
burningprograms with a bit selfrespect has the oppotunity to make a
disc-copy ('on fly')

* select disc-copy and make sure that the source is the virtual DVD-device -
then burn you copy and voila - a brand new DVD with Vista RC1

that is the ISO. it did the same thing to me, with winrar taking over the
file, but it still worked fine for me when i burned the iso file to a dvd.

You should choose UDF (since that is the file system of DVDs).
The others are all file systems of CDs.
