Verify that the installation source is valid, and restart the installation. Can I give any product key compatible? You need to enter a valid Vista key from your computer sticker.
Thank you!! Was able to install hard drive and load Vista 32!! Very good instructions! Off to do the Service pack 2 now! You could always try extracting the WIM with an archiver like 7-Zip and see if it unpacks successfully. In regards to imgburn — if you download it from Ninite. I use that site almost daily. That article has 10 tools which can help you install Vista from USB.
Thanx for the info. Gotta find a better way than imgburn. What a crummy program and website. I ended up downloading from CNET but had to do a custom install all the way or it wanted to keep loading junk programs.
I feel sorry for the person who just did a regular install and ended up with all kinds of junk programs on their PC. Thank you so much for this easy-to-follow guide!! It just saved a laptop that was refusing to boot even from the original recovery disks I made, and shutting itself off in protest. Sadly Microsoft keep playing around with their files on Digital River, they keep coming and going and are there one minute, gone the next, back again the next.
I can only suggest anyone looking to get these files to keep trying. Microsoft really needs to get it together. My hard drive died and old PATA drive. I originally upgraded from 98 to XP to Vista to Win7.
Unfortunately, the only original non-upgrade I have is 98SE. Seems like MS wants to force me to do it the illegal way. Really Really frustrating!!! Go to bios, switch from ide to raid, might be couple more settings to play with.
Should get you rolling. Does anyone have the checksum value for the 64 bit ISO one that works, of course? Checksum — yes Verify burn — yes Start with all new downloads each time — yes Do all the steps as provided in the post — yes Do everything the same way as the successful 32 bit disk I created — yes.
Tried downloading the install. I had to download the Install. You rock! March — I just purchased a 2nd hand HP Elitebook p via Ebay to simply use as a monitor for a solar system. Advertised that Vista Business was the operating system.
Luckily OEM label was intact on the bottom. Took me pretty much the entire day to find your blog, however, it was worth it. Created 64 bit install disk that did the business as promised. I now have a functional, although dated lap top as opposed to a paper weight. Cheers, Brett. Thanks for the site. Had a customer with a damaged HP laptop HD. I just copied the expanded install files over the network to the laptop. Thanks again. Im sure I will use this again in the future.
An excellent guide. Worked fine. Thank you so much for that. It got me out of a bind. The recovery partition on my clients laptop was corrupted and we had no OEM Vista discs. Had license key issues with the retail copy I had. This did the trick. Thanks again! I bought an Acer laptop years ago, being a Linux user I brought it home and promptly wiped out Vista and installed Xubuntu on it. I feel sorry for him giving him Vista, but he has a fresh copy installed. The instructions worked under wine quite nicely.
Thanks for this guide…! My foster mum had a terribly infected XP system, but there was a Home Premium key on the machine, I followed the guide. Only… updating this little machine… takes AGES! This worked perfectly for me! I had lost the supplied boot disk that came with the computer. The newly made restore disk worked like a charm and she was thrilled to have her computer back.
Thank you so much Raymond. CC for this detailed yet easy to follow tutorial. Thanks for this information, it is very useful! Wim amd boot. All you have to do is make sure the 3 files you download are in the same folder when you run the.
I downloaded the Vista 32 bit and successfully created an installation disk. I was using my 64 bit Windows 7 computer to do this. Can someone please tell me if they know for sure why vista is the only image all this work must be done with? Why is windows 7 and windows 8 RTM a simple iso and no crap needed but vista must be built?
After a bit of reading, it seems they wanted to allow people to download Vista while not needing a DVD burner or knowledge of how to burn ISO files. This is obviously all fine but restricts the user to only installing from another installed Windows, whereas it needs to be converted into an ISO to perform a clean install. They never officially released an ISO download to the public. My problem is resolved, Windows XP is fine and stable OS, but it does have it limits, which include file size limits.
I switched over to my Windows 7 64bit computer downloaded the files needed along with Hash Generator and the burner program you recommended. Can not extract Windows Vista Setup to your hard drive. I used Hash Generator to check the install. With the 32bit Download, I did not have this problem, my problem of course was my 32 bit product key number was not activating the 64bit version of Vista.
So I am stumped ATM. Have you downloaded ALL 3 files for Vista bit? I can recreate that error by simply renaming install. You need a blank standard 4. Copy the link for the Install. Wim on the download page and you should have better luck getting the complete file. Alright, so I followed all the instructions, then put the disk into my computer.. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available and restart the installation.
Error code:0x Edit: I also tried redownloading it and making a different disk. Got the same error. Then I tried making a USB bootable with a fresh download, and still the same error. That error is quite infamous and there are several possible solutions. To verify you have the full and verified install.
Make sure they match. Thanks so much! This is exactly what I needed! Another satisfied customer great job on the write up could not have been clearer even though I managed to screw up one step but read more carefully and it worked a treat.
Having an issue I followed all the steps to create the ISO, downloaded all 3 32 bit files since that was on my Acer Aspire computer, loaded it and comes to the installation screen, click install get the message upgrade disabled so I need to use the new install yes that is what I needed and it comes to the screen no drivers found, I click browse and again attempt to look for any drivers and cannot find any….
HAL no I can get the ISO to form and burn to the dish, when I go to install on my Acer Aspire I get the install screen, I input my Vista key and after verification it goes to the next screen stating there are no drivers to install and that I need to browse for them…. ImgBurn is one of thousands of freeware tools that offers adware during setup and the Delta toolbar is one of many toolbars around that do the same thing. We do make it clear though, not once but twice, that ImgBurn offers adware during install so everyone should already know if they read the articles….
I went to Filehippo. I think you ended up downloading from a bad site. This worked fantastically! Performed your instructions which were clear especially with screen shots provided , loaded the DVD, and provided the CD Key still stored on the computer case.
What did I miss?? Pretty straight forward on how to burn, but leaves out what to do with the 2 WIM files. Pretty pointless downloading them to have them sit on your HDD doing nothing. Once you have a successful burn, you can do what you like with the 3 downloaded files. Thanks for hepl.. I spend so much time to make a good vista. On other sites i could see explanation like this : Make ISO and than BUrn With nero : They were talking more about burning instead which file to create to iso and how to make bootable.
Thanks again, if this not working for me anyways explanation is great. Thank you so much! Followed the outline, everything worked fine! Thanks for the tutorial! The command line worked fine after restarting the pc , still dont understand what was the problem but now its fine , thatnks for answering anyway.

Pay attention as your computer starts up and you should see a keystroke for entering the boot menu.
