Vista install problem

[Guest]

I have downloaded windows vista 32-bit version from microsoft and burned it
to dvd, i tried just to open the disk but it comes up saying find a program
to run or use the internet or something like that, iv even tried restarting
pc and pressing the F8 button like someone said but that does nothing either,
can someone please point me in the right direction and tell me where i have
gone in a little detail as im no expert at these things

Whenyou downloaded the ISO file do you burn the DVd as an Image? And have
you done a checksum on the DVD?

 

[Guest]

i dont have a clue on how to do it as an image or how to do a checksum, so i
probably havent so how can i do that?

 

[Guest]

What do you use for burning software?

i use a nero package of some sort it says an OEM suite on the front not sure
if thats any help

 

[Guest]

Ok most versions of Nero can burn ISO images so you need to go to the help
file of Nero and search for How to burn ISO Images. This is where you need
to start!

do you think that i should create a bootable disk is that what i should be
doing as it tells me how to create one is this the right thing?

 

[Guest]

You do not need to creat a bootable disk.. The ISO you downloaded is alredy
bootable you need to write a image file from the ISO!!!

Hey si_nufc,
At this point are you sure you should be testing a beta OS? ISO images are
very easy to do. ImgBurn is a free program that works well with the Vista
ISO's, just burn it a 4x. You may want to educate yourself before you try
Vista or you may have some serious issues.
