From the a server of my university (maniac) I can download Vista N.
It is divided into 5 ISO files. Unfortunately I don´t know how to install it. When I want to install it with Parallels it doesn´t work at all. Program says that it cannot read file. I think it is because it is five files but Programm Parallels wants only one in order to install Vista.
With the other programm VMware Fusion it works but only reading files after that is an error. I guess I have to summarize all the ISO-Files into one but I have no idea how to do it. Anyone knows how this works or can give me a tutorial?
Anyone installed Windows not with a CD but ISO file or better several ISO-files.
Would be great help. I am no expert lol.

I would check with your school's IT department. The answer is dependent on how the ISO files were created in the first place.

You need to unmount the CD drive in Parallels and remount it with the next ISO as it's needed. You can right-click on the little CD icon on the lower border of the Parallels window. I have to us this process to install Windows 2000, which needs a Windows 98 CD in order to check for upgrade compatibility.
