WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ASKING?


Do you want a vista live CD?
Doesn't exist.

Do you want to mount a vista image with daemon tools and attempt to install it on your existing boot partition?
No. There are several problems with this approach.

Do you want to mount the image in XP and install to another HDD/Partition?
My guess is no, since Vista is going to require a reboot into the other partition during install.

Do you want to mount the image and try to install it via VMWare?
This might work. But in the end, vista will be slow as fuck. (As opposed to installing it traditionally)


You've got to be more specific.

it's possible, but I think there's an image size restriction.

I used Daemon Tools to mount the image as a DVD and then passed it through to the VM so that it used it as a drive.
