Installing Vista with 3 CDs

[sinjix_media]

Hey guys,

I downloaded windows Vista from a torrent site and it seems to be a 2 gig file. I don't have a dvd burner. is there any way i can open the iso with an iso reader and spit it up into like 3 CDs and install it like that?

This is not the right place to ask man, there is an excellent software forum for questions like this...

First please post this in the right section next time.

Second use daemon tools or nero or alcohol 120.

if he doesnt have vista installed, how would he use daemon or a120?

The only way would be to burn images onto a DVD then actually install vista. ;) If you don't have a dvd burner you are out of luck. You could try to put it onto a portable HD perhaps and then get someone to burn it for you?

Thats a very unhelpful and general statement.

Someone said i can put it on a partitioned disk and install it that way.

It is real handy for people who do not have a DVD burner but have a DVD they want a copy of... they would split the DVD into even pieces of like 700MB using this program and then burn them each to CDs. My program supports disk sizes of 1.44Mb - 9400Mb. This program will NOT retain the autorun with the spanning (under development). None of my software contains any spyware, adware, any other malicious code. I distribute this as freeware for a reason. No way anything else gets installed to your machine!!! IF YOU TRY THIS AND IT DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU -- EMAIL ME!! Need a custom application, contact me!! Now Supports CD Burning (with XP)!!

I wouldn't recommend stuff like that....just get a burner they are really cheap or just get a friends. I think you can get burners for like £15. I am not sure how much they cost in usa.

[kavalchuk17]

Pretty cheap here too.

Heres the first thing i saw on circuit city -
Philips Internal 16x DVD-RW Drive 29.99 (http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Philips-Internal-DVD-RW-Drive-SPD2410BD/sem/rpsm/oid/161885/catOid/-12975/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do)

[mariojr]

yah..the only way is buying a burner.. vista need a dvdrw drive.. maybe u borrow one dvdrw drive to install..

you could try mounting the iso and installing it from within an existing windows installation, you can get a long way through the installation process like that, if you specify to install to a different partition to the one your working within it may even complete the installation - im fairly sure i did this once with one of the ctp's although that was ages ago so i cant really remember
