Re: vista install "Rick Rogers" <rick[ at ]mvps.org> 7/9/2007 10:05:28 AM Hi, Outside of an MSDN or Technet subscription, no, it's not downloadable. Plus, you'd have to use a DVD emulator to install. Do you have a DVD drive on the system? It would be rare to find a system nowadays that doesn't support booting from it. If available, try making it the only boot device, not just the first one. You'll have to change it back after the first install reboot, but it should force the system to boot from the disk. If you don't have a DVD drive, spend the $20 bucks and get one (internal, not external). -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Tormanator" <Tormanator[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:98A08821-2674-41EF-A571-142777DDF35C[ at ]microsoft.com...
