| | Re: Hands up all those who installed Vista from a CD.......... Who cares? Little, minor technical information. You can always download if you have the mean, like 1.5M or more downstream, T3, SOHO, etc. Do you have money?

| | Re: Hands up all those who installed Vista from a CD.......... Nero, People are simply breaking the ISO up into smaller pieces to fit onto CD's. I have no clue why, as that is a heck of a lot of CD's! DVD drives are DIRT cheap, I just picked up a DVD burner with Lightscribe for 32 USD from NewEgg with free shipping... Bill F.

| | Re: Hands up all those who installed Vista from a CD.......... You don't even need one, although that would certainly be ideal. I used Daemon Tools to install Vista from an XP box and performed a clean install.

| | Re: Hands up all those who installed Vista from a CD.......... Pretty much the same here.. I extracted the ISO to a directory on my system called <CABS> pretty much the way i have installed every windows OS since wfw 3.11 way back when.. saved the cd shuffle hassle from previous years, tho starting with windows xp not very required. Does provide easy access to a non corrupted ntldr and etc. in case of system failure.

| | Re: Hands up all those who installed Vista from a CD.......... Actually, you can boot into Windows, run the Vista install DVD from your existing desktop and do a clean install by choosing the custom install option and installing to a different partition ;-) Same applies for mounting the image with Daemon Tools. I've done it both ways :-) -- Jane, not plain  64 bit enabled :-)Batteries not included.
