Ok this is driving me bonkers here, i've found the guide that i wanted for creating a windows vista bootable install disk. but in the guide itself it states "this is what the pre-prepared directory should look like". ok thats wonderful and all but when i search for the files listed in the example, case in point, the boot file. I get three different boot files listed. A little help on which files with what contents needed would be nice. yeah i can find the individual files listed just by searching my computer but when it pulls up the results and there are multiples of the same file with different contents in each do i combine em all into one and put it in the directory i'm making for creating the install disk or are there only specific ones i need?
Once i can narrow it down to what files with what contents i need i'll be happy to follow your guide for making the Vista bootable install disk so i can actually use the laptop i was given. I'm already irritated with that thing and don't feel like getting into it, suffice to say that when the company that made it got bought microsoft stopped supporting it and there are no sound drivers that work for it. so i'm saying screw it and reformatted the hard drive and installing the same OS thats on my desktop. only i don't want to screw it up and end up missing files. Took me long enough as it was to figure out it had bad RAM cards in it.
anyways i'm getting off topic, please a little help in specifying which folders(containing what) i need to create the install ISO directory.
Any help is appreciated even if it is pointing me to another forum posting, if that helps I'm grateful!
