Hello everybody, My friend of mine have OEM vista dvd, since we are friend, he share that OEM vista to me(we have the same unit dell). What i did is copy all the content of that dvd, hoping that i can make my own bootable dvd, but sad to say i can't. I can install only this os if i have already older version in my computer, meaning upgrade to vista. I ask a favor from a good guys here to help me make bootable dvd vista. Thanks. Regards, aCres
Got mistake Yap that's my mistake, that's why i ask some advise here. My friend is outside our country already. Can't copy it again.
@ aCres, sorry wasn't thinking RVM Integrator 1.6 can only make bootable xp cd sorry if you do a search on google for vlite you can use that to make bootable vista dvd. I have found method using ultraiso. A boot image file is needed to create a bootable DVD, please download the attached file if you do not have one. Tips: 1) extract the attached .ZIP file to a temp folder, there are two files named as vista64.bif and vista32.bif 2) Start UltraISO 3) Choose 'File'->'New'->'UDF DVD image' from main menu 4) Choose 'Bootable'->'Load boot file' and select vista64.bif (for b4 bit vista) or vista32.bif 5) Choose 'Actions'->'Add Directory' to add setup files of Vista 6) 'File'->'Save' to get an ISO or press F7 to burn a DVD directly
Still I did your instruction but still not working. Reboot.... hit F12 choose boot from dvd, then give me a blank message. Any help please? aCres Content of my copied OEM DVD: boot efi langpacks sources support upgrade autorun bootmgr setup
glad you got it going i could have posted instrucions for cdimage but i thought Ultriso method would have been easier for you.
