i need to know if you have to burn the vista iso on a cd-r or dvd-r ? and
possibly on a 700 mb disc? if so, what compression progran can I use?

thank you
 
You MUST burn the Vista .ISO image to a DVD - there is NO
OTHER CHOICE!!!

Since the .ISO is a mirror image of the original
installation DVD it must be burned to disc as an image, not
a data disc. In Nero the "Burn Image to Disc" is the
necessary option to transfer the .ISO to a DVD. You cannot
compress the image as it would never run if you did.

If you don't have a DVD burner, then go buy one. You can
find them on the web for less than $40.00.
 
Hi pmager03 :-)

Yes, as Theo said, it must be burned to a DVD. However, if you are only
wanting to install it to your machine, you can download the iso to your hard
drive, then mount the ISO and install it to your hard drive that. I
recommend the Deamon Tool for this kind of installation:

Daemon Tool - to mount Vista ISO for hard drive installation:

Hope this helps.

ISO-burner is a great tool to use to burn ISOs. It never failed me and
is a really easy to use one soft. I suppose you give it a glance
 
Has anyone ever heard of common sense or logic?

How would anyone expect to burn a 2.5GB, or so, image to a
700MB CD?

The Vista image is already compressed, so the probability of
compressing it anymore is slim and none.
