s installing windows vista

Well I burned the ISO to a CD, restarted the computer, placed the priority to recognize CD first and it didn't recognize it. I checked the contents on the CD and it was completely blank. There was nothing on the CD. I tried burning the ISO again and still nothing.
It's taking a while to burn, but nothing seems to be written onto the CD. What am I doing wrong?

You have to burn the image to a DVD. It won't fit on one no matter what you try. Also, what program are you using to burn it as that could also be causing the problem. ---------- Mark Dietz PROnetworks <http://www.pro-networks.org>

Been burning to a DVD-RW at 1x - 2x using Nero.

Same problem, I downloaded a 3gig file (zipped), Nero says 3gig zipped won't fit on a DVD, so I unzip the file only to find a 1mb "read me", and a 2kb "boot image". What happened to the other 2.8gig? The 2kb does not boot, I even tried a floppy, hoping to at lest start the process so I could direct it to the main file, all I get is "invalid directory". (Before you say anything, I did know the floppy would not work, but it was worth a try).

You did mean to say 'dvd' and not 'cd', didn't you?

Open the file in Nero and burn as an Image, you cannot extract the contents and burn to disk and have it boot successfully from what I've seen. The image is already bootable, so if you burn it as an image, it should work. ---------- Mark Dietz PROnetworks <http://www.pro-networks.org>

Open the file in Nero (or other burning program) and burn as an Image, you cannot extract the contents and burn to disk and have it boot successfully from what I've seen. The image is already bootable, so if you burn it as an image, it should work. The file that is downloaded is not "zipped" it is a disk image ready to be burnt to disk. Only programs capable of reading UDF images can successfully extract the files, but then you can't burn it to a DVD have it be bootable. ---------- Mark Dietz PROnetworks <http://www.pro-networks.org>

I tried burning an image to a DVD using my mom's computer, but it didn't work. I would also just get a blank window. It turned out that the DVD burner was bad. What I would recommend you do is use something such as Daemon Tools. It's much quicker and the install goes faster as it's off your hard disk instead of DVD. It worked for me.

Yeah I use Daemon Tools. I mount the ISO but nothing happens. Nothing AutoRuns. I goto Start > Run > Goto the my J:\ where the image is mounted, I explore the contents and see all the files and folders, I double-click into Setup.exe and it says it's not a valid win32 application.

Start it just the way you would any other cd or dvd. Click Autostart on its context menu.

Im just loading the ISO into Daemon Tools. Am I doing something wrong? Can someone give me step by step instructions for this?
