i have recently downloaded a version of vista (full) and want to install it on the bootcamp partition. Only problem is i dont have a cd to insert when it ask for one. It came in .iso format so i also downloaded PowerISO. Now im trying to find some research on how to go about it but came up with nothing. I do have a couple of USB flash drives. Any help is appreciated, thnx.

Sorry, but a downloaded ISO version of Vista is against the law and thus against the rules here at Mac Forums. We do not allow discussion of any pirated software.

Vista can be purchased directly from Microsoft as a disk image, but I don't believe it's in ISO format. Regardless, the tool that burns it to a disc is Windows-only, so to answer the question - if you have a downloaded (legit) version of Vista, you would need access to a PC to create the disc that will be needed to install Vista.
