Hey Nepali!

Your Method Works, Thanks A Lot!

I Had A Real Hard Time Installing Vista, So Hard That I Had To Install XP, Then Vista Through XP GUI!

Now With Your Tip I Am Able To Not Only Boot From DVD But I Also Made My Own Bootable USB Vista Installation Drive!

Installation Takes Around 10-15 Minutes As Opposed To 30-40 Minutes!

I Owe It All To You Brother!

Thanks Once Again!

Nepali,

Thanks a lot for the info in this thread, this is a very straight-forward way of getting the job done :) It also works for Windows 7 files bring written on Vista, same command to build the ISO. It's great to see this kind of thread high on google results :)

Cheers!
