No DVD Burner

Posted: 03-07-2006, 02:35 AM
I am planning on downloading the Vista beta next month when (and if) it
becomes public. We have high-speed Internet, but I was wondering if I don't
have a DVD burner, what should I do? Mother's computer has one, but mine
just has a DVD drive and a regular CD-RW drive.

Download it to your HD. Set up a Folder for the download.

Burn a DVD on your Mom's computer (using IsoBuster, Nero or Roxio). You can
then load the system using your DVD player.

I don't need to borrow her computer exactly unless you mean just use it -
all I have to do is go upstairs. (I'm still in high school.) Her computer
has an AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (It used to be in my computer before I got the
2400+ - she originally had an Athlon 1GHz which was fast at the time but
only shortly after that, the Athlon XP came out.) 512MB of RAM, 120GB HD
space, and an Ati Radeon 7200 32MB card. Will any DVD work for the proper
media? I don't know much about burning DVDs since I have a regular CD-RW
drive. I'm used to CD-R or CD-RW Music or Data and that's it. I'm not used
to DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD RAM, and so on. Our Internet anymore
averages out around 500 to 600 k / sec when downloading. I remember the old
days when we got around 230 k / sec.

My burner uses DVD + R, if you have a burner that burns multiple formats,
still go with DVD + R, I have read some issues concerning bad burns with
DVD - R

Thanks Andre. You're doing this newsgroup a lot of good. Keep up the good
work. We have DVD + Rs already for the burner, so we should be in good
shape.

Well you are on the right path then, report back how everthing turns out,
I'm very interested in hearing your results. Thanks for your support, I just
enjoy sharing what I have learnt so far from using Vista and I know many
others such as Zack, Josh, Peter and many more feel the same way I do.
