burn disc mastered iso

The ISO image for the 64 bit version is down;paded. Now, can I use Windows Vista (already running 32 bit) to burn the image? The reason why I ask is that when I "Send to DVD drive" there's an option to create a "Mastered ISO". Or will this not work? Thanks.

You need to use a third party burner that supports "burn image to disk." The .iso file is an image of a DVD. It is not a data file. The instructions for all of this are on the very page you started the download from.

Hm hm, but I burned a disk using Nero and installed 32 bit Vista. Then once running, I noticed this "Mastered ISO" thing and wondered if it could do the trick burning the 64 bit version. Anyway, since Nero refused to run and the Mastered ISO thing didn't seem to work, I installed Win2003 RK and used burndvd.exe. Go figure, eh? Anyway, I'm having a time of it with the 64 bit version as - so far - it refuses to install on my 64 bit machine. I'm not giving up yet though, there's BIOS versions to check and BIOS settings to examine and so on .. anyway, no rush.

Microsoft sent word out to us MVP's today to advise users to use slow burn speeds. They are aware that many folks are having issues with burning dvd's that work.

I found out some of my problems: One sometimes needs a full 512 MB RAM. If it is being *shared* with the OB video then Vista's install routine might, possibly, belly up. I switched to OB because the 32 bit's Start menu wouldn't work. I hoped doing that would fix it - it didn't. But then I just decided on 64 bit .. which then wouldn't install. From readin forums, I realized I needed more RAM so I switched it back to using the video card (which released the RAM the OB video was using). Vista 64 bit installed and runs, AFAICT, well.
Thanks

That's great news. fwiw, I think 1GB is a realistic requirement for a smoothly running system over time.
