Ok so I have a small problem, I lack the availability of a DVD burner in order to copy the .ISO to so I can boot to it on my test machine. I have downloaded the complete .ISO and I have Magic ISO which allowed me to extract it to my c: Problem is when I run the setup after I enter the product key that was given to me it just sits there, never does anything. I know it is not installing as my hard drive and proc aren't doing anything. Any suggestions? -- --AOPC Network Tech

Unfortunately my budget doesn't allow for that purchase at this time... which is why I was asking if there was an ALTERNATIVE method for which I can use this ISO in order to install WinVista...

Thanks for the link, I'll think about it but I doubt I will be buying that... I'll just have to continue to work on trying to boot to the extracted ISO... -- --AOPC Network Tech "Rick" wrote: > You can order an OptoRite DD1205 from NewEgg for $33.60 plus $1.00 FedEx > shipping: > > http://www.newegg.com/product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827182025R&CMP=OTC-Froogle&ATT=OptoRite+2-Tone+IDE+DVD+Burner+Model+DD1205 > > > kemics wrote: > > Unfortunately my budget doesn't allow for that purchase at this time... which > > is why I was asking if there was an ALTERNATIVE method for which I can use > > this ISO in order to install WinVista...
