Installing Windows Vista 64bit w/o DVD burner...


Recommended Posts

Hi, I want to know how to install Vista 64bit without a DVD burner. I have WinXP 32 bit and my hdd is partitioned to install Vista, but everytime I mount the ISO and Run the setup.exe it says that it's not a 32bit application... There is another way or I will have to download the 32 bit version for Vista?

haha, this is a new one...never thought of that...I'll ask that on the M$ newsgroup...Another way i guess is to install Windows 64bit....

I doubt installing Vista 32bit would allow you to install the 64bit if it doesnt work in XP...

I just downloaded, mounted with alcohol, hit install, fill the information. Thats it. NO more manual copying of inst files or burning isos.

The installation was successfull, and i am writing with vista right now.

its great.

That's what I did too...with Daemon Tools instead of Alcohol.

The problem is approach isn't working for 3dfx since he's attempting to start the Vista x64 setup from within XP x86.
