Can't get eMachine E3408 desktop to boot from DVD

[STU9000]

Trying to reinstall Vista from scratch, burned the following three files to a DVD

boot.wim
install.wim
X14-63452

Everything I do to get it to boot from the dvd though results in a normal windows boot.

Anyone know what the problem is?

I think you burnt the disk files wrong.

How should I have burnt them?

If thius was the cd off here, you were to run the files to create the directories that are in X14-63452, then burn as a bootable cd.

How To Use:
Please note that there are 3 setup files are available to download for each version:

• One [COLOR=#DB7100 !important][COLOR=#DB7100 !important]EXE [COLOR=#DB7100 !important]file[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]
• Two WIM files

If you are going to upgrade existing Windows, you just need to run the EXE file and it'll install the operating system using the other 2 WIM files.
If you want to create a setup disc for clean installation, run the EXE file and it'll extract the required setup files in a [COLOR=#DB7100 !important][COLOR=#DB7100 !important]folder[/COLOR][/COLOR] which can be used to create a setup disc using a freeware given here.

Thanks I'll keep a note of this for next time. I don't have time to look at it properly just now.
