Burning Vista

[dualauto]

Hello IMGBurn forums!

 

I recently succesfully helped build my first computer! I'm just getting stuck with my OS

 

My school provides us with a copy of Vista Business SP1to download and burn, and the DVD which use for it does burn properly. However, I am attempting a clean install with this DVD and I do have the computer booting from the CD/DVD drive first but it still does not recognize the DVD and will just sit there at boot up.

 

I have confirmed that other CD's will boot properly(Using some Driver CDs that came with the motherboard, as well as the Ultimate Boot CD, downloaded as an iso file and burned using IMGBurn), I just think that it's coming down to the burn.

 

My first 3 burns I did not use ImgBurn to burn the DVD and instead used vista. Using ImgBurn to create an ISO of the files, and then use ImgBurn to put the ISO on another DVD gives me the same result.

 

The DVD does launch the installer on comuters with Vista(I haven't tried with other OS'es) and the installer does work.

 

In short: DVD is not booting Windows Vista installer on a computer with no OS.

 

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forum, dualauto!

 

I 20:43:16 Image File System(s): ISO9660, UDF (1.02)

Normally it should say the image is bootable:

 

I 04:01:25 Image File System(s): ISO9660 (Bootable)

Did you make the image bootable?

 

 

There is a section 3.3 in a guide about it.

The low amount of files also looks odd.
