Right click on teh ISO file, click open with, then manually browse to NERO if it wasn't in teh programs list.belmicah said:I have Nero. Would I just make a data dvd or what?
you don't have to add any files manbelmicah said:Pretty sure. All I did was add the files to burn to a bootable image. I think I should have just made a data dvd instead of trying to make it bootable right?
QFT!!!young_one said:I think the bigger problem there is that (with all due respect) 'belmicah' is about to install a experimental operationg system when he is having trouble buring a DVD.
I dont use this forum much but I have seen far to many threads spread accross multiple forums with people asking relatively simple questions because they want to install Vista first.
They dont seem to understand it is a Beta and not in anyway designed for Joe Public, it will all end in tears. Tears and threads like 'installed vista and now all my files are gone...' and such.
thanks for teh detailed teh explanation!Quake said:TicTac, if you have...
Nero: Go to File, Open, Then in "Files of Type:, Select "Image Files (*.nrg, *.iso, *.cue)" Then, select the iso you downloaded, You will see "Burn Compilation" Window. I usually check "finalize CD" and select in Write Method: Disc-at-once. Click on Burn.
Nero Express: When you see the window, go to Disc Image or saved project, in "Files of Type:, Select "Image Files (*.nrg, *.iso, *.cue) Then, select the iso you downloaded.
Then just click on "Next. That's it!
TicTac said:hmm, Ive burnt the .iso file to dvd.
This has given me the iso.drm file on the dvd. However when I select my cdrom drive as my 1st boot priority it does not boot off the cd - it spins up in booting but nothing happens apart from a normal boot.
Is there anything obvious I have done wrong?

As others have said, all you need to do is search yourself, instead of creating threads that have already addressed the problem. The Vista BETA iso is in UDF format. You cannot simply burn it with Nero. You need something that can handle UDF images, such as Alcohol 120%. If you opened the iso file, or burned it through Nero, you'd see a simple text file explaining this.
I have to agree with some others above. If a person can't read a text file, or simply read through several of the same threads already, a beta OS is going to be very very challenging.

Or, depending on the version fo Nero that you have, either under the FILE menu or the RECORDERS menu, you will have the option BURN IMAGE... Just select that and point it to your .ISO file, then click burn.Quake said:TicTac, if you have...

MaXimus666 said:OMG, sorry to be mean but if you can't burn a f00kin' ISO image then you shouldn't even be using VISTA! Vista is a totally new OS and it requires an IQ level above 150 to be able to use it! everything's moved around! even the freakin' RUN dialog is not there where it used to be! so imagine teh rest.
sorry to be mean but i can't believe it's been 3 days and you can't burn a damn ISO with all teh help and detailed explanations that all of us gave you.
maybe it's my 1337 affecting u?

The Vista DVD is a UDF format disc. It *is* probably a hardware or firmware issue with the DVD-ROM or DVD burner that you're using.BIGDADDY51 said:I revived this thread, as there are other problems with Vista. I bought the beta 2 disc from Microsoft, and guess what? even THAT won't boot from the disc,and install on a fresh harddrive, so don't be so quick to assume the NOOB must have done something wrong.It's not in the hardware either, as by throwing in a XP disc,

I've tried at least 4 or 5 different burners, including 2 new Lite-ons, still a no go.Nero 6 DOES support burning a udf/iso image, but no luck with either 5536 or 5600 Vista discs, I've burned. Running Vistas upgrade advisor, the only thing that gets picked out, is my Lexmark printer. I've tried the install without that attached. I have a new disc on the way, and I'm going to build a different pc, and try to install it on that.It acts like some kind of conflict,or that the boot filespxc said:The Vista DVD is a UDF format disc.

This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system
that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification.
