Hi all, I have a dell xps and having problems formatting DVDs... when I
insert them and choose to make a disc using explorer, I am prompted for disc
title for formatting the blank disk. Click ok and the message "calculating
time remaing " appears and never goes away. Any ideas as without this I
dont know how to get office 2007 cd burned and installed (legit download
from MSDN!).

Is there another way to get VISTA to load/recognise an ISO file and install
directly?

Many Thanks

Brian
 
Hi Brian,

You can't use the native tools to create a disk from an .iso file. A quick,
simple tool from www.terabyteunlimted.com is BurnCDCC (it's in the free
software section) can be used in Vista.
