Hi friends.. I am creating a multi boot dvd and i want to check if its working correctly or not. Already i have tried that twice but could not do correctly which wasted my dvds. Is there any way by which i can create an ISO of the dvd and check the installation process without actually installing the windows... Plz let me know if its possible... Thanks In Advance...

I dont think there is any way to create ISO file..and use it directly.May be through virtual CD.I haven't tried this..so I m nt conform.


Why Don't you buy a re-writable DVD.

Thanks for the reply Ravi.. But,... Buying a re-writable is not a big problem, but formating my OS now and installing and checking all of them again is a problem for me, since i have .Net, Oracle, and so on a lot of things which take a lot of time 2 install again... Any other solution???

1st of all use Nero or any such to burn a HDD image :) in either ISO format (if possible for u) or in Nero Default format or as ravi said, in a Re-Writable DVD or CD :)

Get ur Self Microsoft Virtual PC, from here, *www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx

and the follow this Post... to test the DVD in Virtual PC :D
