You can't boot from a DVD using DAEMON Tools or Al-kee-haul. If you have a copy of VMWare or Virtual PC, you can mount an ISO image for use as a drive. Nifty. If you are on a shoestring budget like the best and rest of us, check out Bochs. In the event that you want to install the Vista disc to the HD permanently, just going to have to find a friend with a burner or get one
