Didn't you read the minimum hardware REQUIREMENTS for Vista?
If your computer only has a CD drive, it probabaly doesn't meet the
REST of the Hardware REQUIREMENTS, either.
Since the Vista installer won't fit on a CD (its 3GB + change in
size), it would definitely be hard to use a CD drive, unless it is one
of the combo drives, which will do either CDs or DVDs.
