Reboot and select proper boot device: MSDN Vista Ultimate 64 iso

[sck10]

Hello,

I downloaded Vista Ultimate 64 w/ SP1 on my MSDN license (with key). I
busted the ISO file and burned it onto a DVD using Roxio. I am trying to
install Vista on a new build. However, when I insert the disk, I get the
error: Reboot and select proper boot device, or insert boot media. Any
help would be appreciated. Is there anything else I need to do to make the
DVD bootable? Any help with this would be appreciated.

I haven't used Roxio for a very long time but you need to burn as an ISO
image. I personally use the free disk burner called DeepBurner. Do a Google
search and download this. Once installed, run DeepBurner and select 'Burn
ISO Image' I've never had any problems with this burner.

If you are using Roxio, you simply browse to the .ISO image
you downloaded and select "Burn Image". Is that the procedure
you used?

Thanks John,

In Roxio you can create an image from an ISO file, which I found out the
hard way is different than copying the image to a DVD. Its installing now.

Thanks again, sckeels

Well sckeels we all learn by our mistakes, fortunately you've managed to
sort thing out.

Good luck with the install
