iso download

Recently I received an email inviting me to join the beta porgram for Vista after filling out the information I had the chance to download the vista iso. after burning it to a dvd I attempted to install it hovever I get several messages telling me that files are missing and the program will not install. Any Ideas whats going on here.
Thanks -- Mike Newell

It sounds like a bad copy/download. Try downloading again and burn/verify on lowest speed...

Beta tester? Hmmm. Anyway you will need to convert the ISO file.that you have downloaded first before you can install it. Do you have a program such as Nero or Roxio etc?

Possibly the burn was too fast. Try burning it again at 2x and see what happens. Somehow Microsoft's ISO images are more sensitive to burn speed than others. -- Pierre Szwarc Paris, France PGP key ID 0x75B5779B ------------------------------------------------ Multitasking: Reading in the bathroom ! ------------------------------------------------

You can't just burn the iso image to DVD straight away, you need to use a program that will extract the iso image and create a bootable DVD.

Uh, what?
I've never seen an ISO come out of Microsoft that wasn't an image of a *bootable* CD/DVD. *Many* times I've just downloaded one of their ISOs, burned it with Nero, and booted straight off of it. Or just booted off the ISO file itself with VMware.

Extracting the ISO file, is that specific to the burning utility you have installed? I don't need to do this with NERO, just select burn image on the main menu, open the ISO and it automatically sets it at a burn speed of 2x and burns successfully. -- -- Andre Windows Connect | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Yeh, Nero does a bootable version of this. However, if you can burn the ISO using Nero (DVD setting, Create Bootable Disk makes it easier) and then burn at 2x speed as Pierre said - try that and see if it works. However if that fails, try copying the files then from the DVD you've made to a folder on the desktop and run it from there. That's how I did it on one of my machines, because it threw back an error about some file missing also :o)

Yes you are right. The problem is the burn speed. Most Microsoft iso need to be burned slow

I wholeheartedly agree that CDs/DVDs burned at a higher speed might not be as reliable as those burned at a slower rate.
However, I don't think it's a "Microsoft ISOs" vs "everybody else's ISOs" problem--if that's what you're trying to convey here. :-)

I do think Peters information is wrong. With each and every ISO I've ever had (be it from MSDN, Connect, or other sources) I've never had a need to do anything to it. Just fire up my favourite burning tool (Nero, Alcohol 120, or others), and burn the image to disc. Thats it. No converting, no modifying, no specifying boot parameters, nothing.
Oh, and I usually let it burn at whatever the max speed the disc/writer combo can manage with no problems.

No that is not what I am saying. It does not matter who's ISO I just see that most of the ISO I get from Microsoft work better when burned slower (ie: 2x for DVD and 8x CD)

It is converted, you apparently do not see it. Evidence...Copy the ISO instead of choosing the option to Burn Image. Then attempt to boot to the ISO and install, it will not happen.

No, there is a difference between burning a file (any file, be it a .txt, ..exe, or perhaps a .iso) to disc, and burning an image to a disc. There is more 'conversion' involved with burning a bunch of files to disc. With an image the burner software pretty much reads through the image file, and burns it bit by bit onto the disc. With a bunch of files, the burner software not only has to write the files bit by bit, but it also has to write stucture information etc to the disc.
But this is all academic in the context of this thread. By saying that you need to convert the ISO file that you have downloaded before it can be installed makes it sound like something has to be done to the ISO file its self before it is fed to the burning software.

Getting the file from MS in ISO format and then copying it to a DVD and then trying that ISO file for an install will not cut it. You need to convert it by using something like Nero.

In the case of Nero, the burning software does the conversion.
You say "makes it sound like something has to be done to the ISO file its self before it is fed to the burning software." Correct, you can not install the ISO as it is, Nero does it for you. As I suggested before, because you do not see it, does not mean nothing happens. The transparency of the operation is one of Nero's benefits.

The way I read what the OP said, he did burn the DVD correctly. If he hadn't then his PC would ignore the DVD when booting, and there would be no error messages about missing files or anything. It sounded very much like he was successfully running install, but because of a bad burn the disc was corrupt and couldn't complete.
Anyway, I suggest that further discussion on this topic is futile until the OP returns and actually tells us how he created his DVD.

Hey, Peter, I had my first encounter with an .iso file, and it wasn't pretty. Being a beta tester with your first encounter with .iso files isn't something to worry about. Not asking the questions needed to figure it out is something to worry about. At least ML is asking. :-}

Thanks to someone else for giving me the tip! I used to use Alex Feingold's ISO burner, but there was a point where it wouldn't work any more, and I got the BurnCDCC tip. I love this little utility, even though it makes you think it ain't gonna work, and then when you look back, there it goes!
