How to Create a Vista Bootable Disk

Instructions
 

Step 1

Download a torrent program such as Bittorrent (linked below) to gain access to a vista CD. Bittorrent is a file sharing program used for the distribution of larger files, such as those found on an operating system disk. Install Bittorrent on your PC after the download is complete.

Step 2

Go to the Neosmart site (linked below) to download the appropriate torrent for your copy of Vista (whether 32 or 64 bit). Do not make the mistake of downloading the wrong copy, as it will not work with your product key. If you are unsure, simply right click on "My Computer" and select "Properties. " The resulting box should tell you what version of Vista you are currently running.

Step 3

Burn the downloaded CD from the torrent in step two to a blank CD-R. Use either a commercially available CD-burning tool like Nero or by using the included CD burning software in Vista. Simply create a data disk and place the downloaded file on the disk. Don't put anything else on the disk. This will create a boot disk that you can use to reinstall or repair your existing Vista installation.
