Installing using mounted iso

After downloading beta 2, I realized I didn't have any blank DVD's left. So
I did a quick search for mounting an ISO to a drive letter.

I found this nifty little utility:

It worked like a charm. Just follow the readme.txt, the default letter it
uses is Z:. Goto My Computer, Double click Z:, then follow the install
instructions and it installed without a hitch.

So far Vista is pretty darn neat.

Haven't tried this with Vista, but I have seen mounted drives destroy an XP
install multiple times.

If it works though, that's good info.

You can also use Daemon Tool's http://www.daemon-tools.cc to Mount and
Install directly from the ISO, just FYI.
