gkeidar Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I downloaded the three files (boot.wim + install.wim + X14-63453), extracted them using the X-1463453 and got ended up with an image roughly identical to an original retail Vista X64 I happen to have. I tested the disc I ended up with on a functional computer and it smoothly launches the installation setup (both automatically when I drop it in the optical drive by implementing the autorun present therein or alternatively by manually clicking the setup.exe file). Yet, attempting to use that burnt disc to set up a clean installation with a blank HDD, it doesn't boot. What need I do to get such burnt disc to boot? The original retail disc boots smoothly, so I know there's no problem with the computer I want to set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Have you read the guide in the guides section? If you don't have all the files/folders, it's not going to work. If you have an original retail disc that boots, why are you trying to build another one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
