I have also tried to create a dvd and he message i get is "cd.image.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file." I am doing this within Vista, is that the problem should i be trying to do it in XP???
Hi changed the I for a l and now get the error "could not open boot sector file "" Im doing this from win xp
Wouldnt it be easier to extract all the files from the ISO and use vLite to make a bootable ISO image instead?
Sounds a good idea but I need a program that creates the bootable win vista dvd from win xp any other ideas or any advice on a program to use Thanks
Hi Cythrawl downloaded vLite and managed to create a bootable dvd will give it a try Thanks for your help
Try this command : cdimage.exe -m -u2 -bC:\Vista\boot\etfsboot.com C:\Vista C:\Vistax86.iso It's Working for me, you guys should try it
Thank for your suggestions,I have tried to navicate Vlite all theree files [boot, install,and x13-49120.exe]. But said expected file not found and files may corrupted or unreadable. P.s ; i am trying to make bootable vista dvd in my xp pc.
Vista Bootable DVD settings mostly the same info as above ! copy DVD contents to C Drive (ie: C:\Vista) download cdimage.exe from net (sry,link gone) copy cdimage.exe to current user folder ie: XP - C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator Vista - C:\Users\Administrator then use this command line cdimage -m -u2 -bC:\Vista\boot\etfsboot.com C:\Vista\ C:\Vista.x86.iso working perfectly (tested 100x + )
vista dvd thanks for informations. But the following message appear again ERROR: Could not open boot sector file"C:\Vista\boot\etfsboot.com" Error 3: The system connot find the path specified. Do i Need to download boot file again?
I'm trying to do this with the vista 64 bit, what file would I use in place of etfsboot.com as it is not in the folder created by the vista download. files available are bootsect and memtest
