    I think you have to run the .exe first - it creates the directory structure I expect.

    burn the one just downloaded, finalize it so it can be used on other computers. eject and then reinsert, it should ask you to install or view files. if it does its good to install.

    Re: Installing on new hard drive

    Hiyya rich I found this site and have followed it but cannot get to making an ISO from the Vista folder - it just opens out when I select it with either ImgBurn or Power ISO.

    Dell Community

    I even tried burning it withe Windows inbuilt feature it burnt all right but heaven only knows what.

    Am absolutely stumped now because I just find these things are just far too complicated to follow. If it happened as in that instructions then it would be no problem.

    Anyway just to say thanks for the help.

    If you ran the .exe and have the Vista folder, next is to create a bootable.iso

    It is very easy with this: Bootisomaker-V3.zip

    bootisomaker.jpg

    You will need some space - the .iso will be quite big 3-4gb depending on the bit version.
