Hello, I need to create a vista repair disk

Any idea why the Win 7 USB/DVD Burner Tool had problems with it, or could this be because it pre-dates Win 7 and the tool ?

Will try shanes too, see which one works from here
TIA

I don't know how to upload it to another site as the only one is what Shane has supplied and I don't know another source, but right click on the link in my first post, select Copy shortcut then paste into http://www.fakeip.org/ to see if that gets you it.

only site visible is http://www.filecluster.com/downloads/Windows-Automated-Installation-Kit-AIK.html
maybe someone can upload them their?
Shane:
Might have to go a torrent route to get it, problem is you want to make sure to get an untouched one.

So if you get an error extracting then chances are the file didnt finish downloading.

I was burning to a DVD and I'd already created a disk using ImgBurn.
If it had been an incomplete download Windows wouldn't have recognised it as an Image File and given me that error message instead of saying there was something wrong with my disk drive.
I haven't had a chance to test my disk player with a Win 7 ISO I have stored, but that should confirm if my disk drive had gone bad since using ImgBurn, but each time it got to 99%.
The Vista file was showing as ~3.167GB - no longer have it for exact number, but ImgBurn had it as 3,243,413,504 bytes.
@ Rick - Did you try copy & pasting the link into that Proxy site I'd linked ?
When I copy & paste the URL into it and try to copy that back into here, all I get is the FakeIP website - you may have to try it from your end.
Boggin:
Just an update on this for my part - it looks like the Windows USB/DVD burner was telling the truth - my DVD drive is knacked and the laptop won't even boot up from a bootable USB I had put an ISO onto as a safeguard to my DVD player going toes up.
I'll take it in next week as I have an extended warranty on it.
How are you getting on Rick - tried that FakeIP link yet ?
