BUY - DOWNLOAD - Burn your DVD = Vista

Info for those that Bought and Downloaded there Vista...

Buy and Ship might cost more and also have to wait for the delivery. You made your payment and the links to download Windows Vista is made available to you. There are 3 files to download which is:
1. boot.wim (116.31 MB)
2. install.wim (2.25 GB)
3. X13-49120.exe (73.76 MB)

After spending hours downloading, it has finally finished. This is how you can make your own Windows Vista DVD from the 3 files you've downloaded from Digital River.

1. Place all 3 files (boot.wim, install.wim and X13-49120.exe) in your C:\ drive.


2. Run X13-49120.exe and it will extract files to Vista folder(automatically created).


3. Download CDImage and place cdimage.exe in your C:\ drive


4. Run Command Prompt (Go to Start -> Run -> type CMD and click OK. When Command Prompt appear, type "cd \" without the quotes to change to C drive.
Type the command "cdimage -m -u2 -bC:\Vista\boot\etfsboot.com C:\Vista C:\Vistax86.iso" and you will see that it's creating Windows Vista iso image.


5. Once it shows 100%, you can use the free ImgBurn to burn the newly created Vistax86.iso to DVD.


6. Before you burn Vistax86.iso to DVD using ImgBurn, it is advisable to make sure that "Verify" is checked and select the slowest write speed to burn. This is to ensure that you have a good Windows Vista DVD and won't get stuck in the middle of Windows Vista installation.

Read #6. if you want to make a COPY of your DVD and keep for your BACKUP. which is LEGAL .. I use DVD-RW's to burn they are the slowest method I know...I also have burnd using NERO, PowerISO, ImgBurn, ISOBurner
with Vista Ultimate...all worked fine..NO ERRORS.
