Martyn Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Is it possible to mount the ISO of Vista Beta 1 with Alcohol 120 and install? I have heard it is but I need to check. Thanks Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trajik 2600 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 As long as part of the install copies the files necessary for setup to the hard drive before the reboot. I know Windows XP does this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C:\Smoke> Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I dont think it would be.... If ur machine has to reboot to install, then the virtual drive will cease to exist, and Vista will not be able to install from it. Unless i am missing something.

I installed it fine by the way with mounting it, just need to get some emulation software installed on Vista so I can install the rest of the drivers. Thanks everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slim_Az Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 You know strangely enough, i thought this would be a thread about a mountain called "Vista" and then you'd have to usual suspects saying "omg microsoft copied teh name from there.. " blah blah.. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This topic is in "Vista Beta Place" so of course its going to be about Windows Vista. Unless NeoWin have created a huge forum about a mountain called Vista which no one has ever heard of the in Windows section, which is a bit stupid I think.

I8PP Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Daemon Tools works equally well. Though i think it's incorrect to say the virtual drive still exists when it reboots; Vista just copies all the files before rebooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Notorious Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I must have a bunk copy of the ISO then because there are no files on the drive when I reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But definitely an MS codename) is the name of a road coming off MOUNT Whistler. Longhorn (codehorn for Windows Vista) is the Longhorn Saloon and Grill which is a restaurant just along Blackcomb Road, on MOUNT Whistler... Now is it REALLY that far fetched that a thread entitled Mount Vista could be referring to a mountain that Microsoft may have named Windows Vista after? It's not like they have a history of doing it or anything is it?? Think before you write! Sorry to OP for taking this off-topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
