RE: How to Make a Bootable Disk in Vista
Thank you very much. I have looked high and low, tried many other's suggestions, eventually had to buy a new notebook, but have kept at it trying to fix the one that crashed. Finally, your help has made it possible for me to start my un-bootable notebook. For what it is worth (nothing a bank will recognize, I'm sorry) you have my gratitude. If you know Jesus as your savior, come visit my mansion sometime - you will always be welcome!

Tutorial worked great, as did the bootable CD. It fixed a nasty BSOD issue I had.

Thanks very much!

Nice tutorial and also needs some downloads of huge files! But at the end it does not matter if we can grab the vista bootable discs! Hope we can integrate some day by your methods SP1, SP2 or SP3! I made my windows xp sp3 differently using some cmd commands! Hard to be XP vista.?
