hi techsupport!!!!!!
plz help me out about window vista.
i m currently using win xp sp3 and wanna install window vista, I have borrowed vista dvd from my friend and copied that dvd to install vista, but when i had installed win xp after inserting win xp dvd it automatically ask that press any key to boot from dvd but for win vista it does not ask the same for booting, Is there any way to make a vista dvd auto bootable so that after inserting it automatically ask that press any key to boot from cd so that there is no need to change bios setting as in the case of win xp.
plz reply if u know anything related to this matter. thankx

Do you have a legal Vista key? If you do not, what you are trying to do is not legal.
Re: make a bootable vista dvd

You can use another's Vista DVD -- only if it is full retail version and you have your own keycode.

Otherwise - purchase a Genuine copy of Vista.

Burn you Vista DVD with[URL="http://www.vlite.net/"] vlite [/URL]Slipstream any Service Packs or other updates or drivers too if you like.

i have tried vlite but it is tool used for customization and personalisation of vista but i want to ask about bootable vista so that it can ask for press any key to boot from cd..
