Hi, Did you use a burning program to burn the .iso file as an image or did you simply copy the file to DVD? The .iso file is a DVD image file and must be treated as such, you can't simply copy it to a disk. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Jerry G" <JerryG@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5F2D78F5-E012-446E-9493-0ED19E52E635@microsoft.com... > downloaded and put on dvd....put dvd in to drive and it does not start > install....click on iso file and it wont start that way either...please > help |

Especially not a Pre-Release Operating System. It would also help to read the instructions on the download site . . . it's pretty detailed on how to burn it, and what to burn it with. Just my opinion, but opinions are like butt-holes, everyone has one and they are often full of it. (well, it goes something like that. LOL) Mic |

You have to create the DVD from the ISO file, not just copy it. Once the new DVD is created, you must boot from it. You cannot just click on "setup."
