Create the original English version of Vista installation CD-ROM manually

Although rarely happens, some unwary users may inadvertently lose the Vista installation discs that came with them when they purchased the computer. If you want to go to the system provider, I am afraid it is very troublesome, if downloaded from the various software websites, but also worry about the virus or trojan, there is no saving time and worry about the way?

We can download Vista's installation files directly from Microsoft's official servers, because Microsoft offers customers online to buy Vista, and after paying, consumers will get a link to download Vista directly from the Microsoft server, but only the English version is available here. But we can get a perfect experience with the installation of Chinese language packs.

Download installation files

We need to download three installation files:

Install.wim file size is 2.26GB, download address is http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/01/60316070-3318705%E2%80%93NOA/msvista/ Pub/vista_wim/i386/install.wim.

Boot.wim file size is 117MB, download address is http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/01/60316070-3318705%E2%80%93NOA/msvista/pub/ Vista_wim/i386/boot.wim.

X13-49120.exe file size is 75MB, download address is http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/01/60316070-3318705--NOA/msvista/pub/ X13-49120/x13-49120.exe.

Integrated hard Drive installation version

After we get the installation files, we can consider two different installation methods, but in any case it is necessary to integrate the three installation files, otherwise it cannot be installed directly.

Vista Hard Drive Setup program

Hard Drive Installation

First find a disk partition with a larger free space, preferably a separate partition of about 10GB, and then copy the three files that you just downloaded to the root of the disk ; Double-click to run X13-49120.exe, the installer will pop up and exit the dialog directly; now you will find that a folder named "Vista" is automatically created under the disk root directory. Copy the Install.wim and boot.wim two files to "vistasoutces" and copy Boot.wim to the C:boot path, noting that this folder is a system folder with hidden attributes, and you have obtained the hard drive version of the installation files by this step.

CD installation

If you need to burn it as a CD-ROM, first you need to obtain a Microsoft-provided CD-ROM image tool cdimage, download the address for http://www.onlinedown.nethttp://www.bianceng.cn/soft/28572.htm, Unzip the compressed package for this software, and then enter the command prompt environment as an administrator, enter the following command and execute "cdimage-m-B" j:vistabootetfsboot.com "J:vista" "J:vista.iso"

Translate to ISO image execution information

The resulting ISO image file

The mirrored file output path in the above command can be specified by itself, but you must be aware that the disk partition has enough storage space to display execution information and automatically create an ISO-formatted mirrored file after the file copy is completed. Wait a moment, we can get the corresponding CD-ROM image file, and finally use Nero or other burning software to burn the image file.

Install Vista

Now, we can find the "J:vista" under the Setup.exe, double-click the run after the choice of "Install now", the next installation process and ordinary installation is no different, according to the prompts to operate, so that we can do without the case of the installation of Vista installed tasks. If you're going to use a CD-ROM installation, then boot the system with the disc you've burned.

Add Chinese Language Pack

If you are unfamiliar with the English interface, you can also download the MUI Language pack in Simplified Chinese from Microsoft Official server, download the address for http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518 /cabpool/lp-zh-cn_ac12404fd3350e08ba766c9ab774eb61ecfa7a45.exe, download and then double-click to run the installation.

Of course, the prerequisite for doing all this is that you use Vista must be Ultimate or business version, otherwise you cannot add a language pack.
