hi! while tryin to create a vista instalalbe DVD-R today, i just copy pasted the files from VISTA DVD to to nero complilation then i burnt a new DVD-R. then i remebered that i hav not added boot information n hence the DVD-R is not bein bootable. but i m able to run setup from vista.

i still hav free space left on that dvd. is it possible to add boot info to dvd so that i can use it to instal vista while bootin.
plz reply fast its urgent coz that dvd is not mine. its of my cousine n he needs it soon.

edi: i hav burnt it in udf format

?? no replies guys?

now another problem. i extracted the boot image from VISTA image file and burnt it on that DVD. now that DVD is showin just those boot image files. no vista installation files r shown in explorer but SIZE IS SHOWN TO BE 3GB.

HELP ME EXPERTS!!
