3dfx Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt installing Vista 32bit would allow you to install the 64bit if it doesnt work in XP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulgafree Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is approach isn't working for 3dfx since he's attempting to start the Vista x64 setup from within XP x86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raskren Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I have to ask: Who shells out for x64 hardware and doesn't buy a $35 DVD burner?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
