I used the first option, which involves cdimage. I registered for the forum, downloaded the 47kb file and followed all the instructions. When I tried to run the command in command prompt, it would give me two errors: ERROR: Unable to create file "C:\Vistax86.iso" of 3969318912 bytes and Error5: Acces is denied It turned out that the problem was that I couldn't let the program create a new file in my C drive. I solved the problem by having it create the .iso on my desktop. i.e. I changed "cdimage.exe -lVISTA_EN_DVD -m -u2 -bC:\Vista\boot\etfsboot.com C:\Vista\ C:\Vistax86.iso" to "cdimage.exe -lVISTA_EN_DVD -m -u2 -bC:\Vista\boot\etfsboot.com C:\Vista\ C:\user\desktop\Vistax86.iso" where user depends on your username. After changing that it made the iso just fne! Thanks for the guide!

Thanks! Works like a charm. Once problem, if you saved cdimage.exe to the root of your C:\ drive (or whatever you use as your main drive letter.) then you had to add that in front of the first command in the command prompt. Other than that, great writeup, and my ISO is burning as I am typing this. Hopefully, it will auto boot and I won't have a problem as the above user did. Thanks again! Excellent. Thanks!
