Well, as many of you know, I've been trying to install Vista. I have 2 problems I cant solve.

1.) When installing via ISO image w/ Daemon tools, I get an error saying I need at least 452MB in any partition. WTF?! I tried with a 120GB partition, both unallocated, and formatted NTFS. How can I get around this? My friend did the same and had no problems.

2.) When installing via CD, I get asked for CD/DVD drivers. I found them, BUT Vista installer doesnt read the .zip, .exe, or the .bin extracted from the .exe file. Nothing seems to be working, and I know these are the right drivers. Help? My drive is GSA-H20L I got the drivers off the LG website. Vista install asks for a folder too, and i tried putting all 3 of the file formats in a folder. Still, nothing.

And yes. My PC is fully capable of Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.
Please help???

I would burn the ISO to disc with something like Image Burn and install from the disc.

An 8Gb USB is very cheap now, you only need a 4Gb.

Should work, but you will only know for sure if you try.
