If I posted in the wrong forum, my apology.

I am now using Windows 7.
A year ago, my Vista went kaput. The Installation dsk that came with my OEM Vista does not help restoring at all, neither can I access my recovery partition. It has been gathering dust since.
Today, I decided to download Vista iso, burn it to a bootable DVD and see if I can resuurect my Vista computer.

After downloaded all 3 files of Vista iso,
boot.wim,
install.wim,
and X14-63452.exe,
into my Download folder of Windows 7 machine, I saved them into a new folder, named Vista ISO.

Now I need to burn the iso into a bootable DVD.
Question :
The iso is made up of 3 files. When I use, say, Imgburn, and I browse to the iso folder, which file name I am supposed to enter ?

Reason I ask is ...... when I opened the Vista ISO folder, it said " no items match your search ". Folder is empty.
" IF I enter X14-63453.exe into the file name box, Imgburn took it.
But what about the other 2 files ?

I had burn Win 7 iso to DVD, and lately I had burn Win 8 RP iso to DVD. NO problem.
But this Vista iso confuses me.

Help is badly needed.

I don't see a problem if he's got a legit Vista key.

Should have one on his machine somewhere...

But that download looks dodgy to me, better to get a copy you know is legit.

I don't know the "legality " part as far as this forum is concerned.
If it is frowned upon, I apologize.
However, there is a tutorial from Seven forum about how to burn iso. In fact I used it to burn a Win 7 SP1 iso using that tutorial. I fail to see the issue of legality.

I downloaded the iso from a VERY legit source. One that is supported or authorized by Microsoft ( at least that is how I understand it ).
The source is Digital River.

Yes, I have a legit Vista OS with OEM product key.

Thank you for trying to help.

Final update .....
After creating a bootable Vista ISO, I had, after 8 hours, finally succeeded resurrecting my Vista Home Premium computer.

Perhaps, I'll use it to install Win 8 Pro when it is made available to the public.
