This infomation is provided for people who have never installed Vista
NOTE: You will require about 5-6GB free space to prepare for installation (saving 3 download files and extracting them) PLUS a minimum of 10GB for actual installation
1. After you finish downloading these 3 files, run "X13-49120.exe"
2. Ensure that you have about 2.5 GB free space in some partition, preferably C:
3. You must have working win XP/98 to run this installation (making bootable CD will require some extra work)
4. In the setup you will get options to either Upgrade or current windows OR Fresh install, use fresh install if you want Vista along with your current windows
5. It's recommemded that you install on a NTFS partition having more than 15GB free space. Bare Vista OS can consume as much as 8Gb of space!
6. You can do away with Serial and Activation at the time of installation, BUT remember that it's a Vista download from official Microsoft download site (and not a cracked version), so you will have to activate within 1 month.

A very interesting thing i've noted is that, even without a serial number, you can use all the WGA stuff Smiley.

Making Bootable CD:

1. Run x13-49120.exe, after the setup starts cancel it.
2. This will extract files to a folder named 'Vista',
3. Download CDImage program.

4. Open command prompt.
5. Type the following command exactly as displayed below, in command prompt.

"cdimage -m -u2 -b C:\Vista\boot\etfsboot.com C:\Vista C:\Vistax86.iso" (without quotes)
(Replace C: with the path of the folder where you have saved these 3 downloaded files)
Command prompt will display the progress of Image creation.

7. Once it shows 100% complete, you will see a new fileVistax86.iso This is a Vista Ultimate Upgrade bootable image.
8. Burn the newly created image to a blank DVD using an image burner (Nero etc). Make sure you burn it using the 'burn image' or 'disk image option. Burning the iso file as it is wont work.
9. Once the image is created, you can safely delete boot.wim, install.wim, X13-49120.exe files, Vista Directory (created in step 2), cdimage.exe file and Vistax86.iso files from your root drive.

You can now use the newly created bootable DVD to install Vista Ultimate Upgrade.

If you are installing Vista for it's visual effects etc, remember that you will need 1GB RAM and a decent graphics card for enjoying all of the visual effects. You will also need new drivers for many devices. Intel 915 users cannot run aero effect (even when onboard graphics can theoretically support that) because of unavailability of WDDM drivers.

enjoy guys !!!!
