Yo computer geekz!

Since I can't find any help on the interwebz and I'm kinda pissed off + United States of AmericaYMCA`Marcus is too lazy to help me.

Here's my problem :

I have a windows key licence and a bootable DVD. HOWEVER, my dvd doesnt wanna load. So, I thought I'd make a new bootable dvd with windows but I can't find any tutorials to do so like wtf???

Great links will be rewarded with :

My pc is like 5 yo and I bought it with vista. Even if XP is supposed to be more stable I have no problem with using vista since I mostly use it for games rest of the time I'm on ubuntu. Could get win7 but I'm not into hacking stuff + dont give a shit since vista is enough for me :)

the fact vista uses alot more from cpu and everything, if your computer is that old you would be better off with w7

if you have the iso file it should be normally recognised by bios if it is bootable.

what kind of dvd did you use?

Not really, that depends if you have dvd player higher in your boot priority.
I have my SSD as first boot device so the pc will never boot from dvd rom unless i use my boot menu, or change the boot priority.

Also the bios doesn't detect an iso file. It just starts the dvd player and the dvd player is than like, yea this cd/dvd is bootable lets boot...

I assumed,he knew what a BIOS is and how to enter it and I assumed he knew how to burn a dvd-image to a dvd without just copying the iso file.

Never assume anything with people you are trying to help. Most people dont even know what the bios is.

Did you really boot from your dvd drive?
Perhaps your boot priority is wrong.

I was given a blank dvd where I was supposed to burn windows recovery. However something went wrong since my pc loads the dvd BUT stops @ grey screen GREAT SUCCESS :s
