there was in the folder was the .iso file and i burned it to a dvd and now i
cant instal vista becuase all it is is the .iso file

was there a setup file or some thing that was supposed to come with the .iso
file or
am i just lost?

if you can help me please send me an email at
fatman90210@hotmail.com

and please put the subject as "vista" so that i know its not spam

thank you for any help

Do not unzip the file, burn it to a disk, since
it is a ISO, there should be
an option in your Burning utility for burning
images to a CD.

Check the following link for instructions about
how to burn an ISO:

You have to use software made to handle ISO files, such as Nero.
It "unscrables" the ISO file into what they were before being
compacted into the ISO file.

Burning the ISO Image in NERO and Roxio Easy CD Creator:

NERO

Insert a Blank DVD, open Nero Start Smart > change the media type to DVD >
select Copy and Backup > click "Burn Image to Disc" > navigate to where the
Windows Vista BETA 2 Image is stored on your hard disk, (note: if you don't
see it, make sure the image file type is changed to "ISO" click Open and the
burning wizard will automatically start.



Roxio

Open Creator Classic > click File > "Record Disc from Image" > navigate to
where the Windows Vista BETA 2 Image is stored > click Open and the burning
wizard will automatically start.



Ensure that the ISO burns at a low speed, recommended speed, 2x for best
results.
