I thought u need i386 folder and boot.ini to be able to boot from DVD? I can't just install Vista straight from within XP can i?

I remember this it's, "the three files needed to make an ISO" method. I might be able to find the guide to make the ISO. Where do you live? You could get copies of the Vista discs from someone in you area.

Sorry man, what you have there is just the SP2 update ISO for Vista/Server 2008. So my link would have counted for nothing.

First clue: Vista could never be 1.3GB ISO by default with 32bit and 64bit.
