Hi. I purchased and downloaded Vista Home Premium from Microsoft's
web site. I chose to use my browsers download. The download came in 3 parts.
Boot.wim
Install.wim
and an exacutable.
I burned the 3 files to a DVD-RW but the computer won't boot to it.
I ran the executable from my c: drive to install Vista but what if I'm
unable start my operating system? I have nothing to boot to to begin
another install incase this happens.

Thanks,
James
