Vista install disc doesn't seem to do anything. It acts like there is no CD in there, even though I have it set to read the CD first before hard disk.

It works on vista machine, but doesn't work with windows 7 machine.
sure there is!! But the problem is:
It's not as easy as you think!
- It's an image meant to be on CD/DVD. So the program knows how to lookup files on CD/DVD file system. So not on NTFS or FAT32 file system.
- It does support more file systems for it's own files to lookup. Probably it's linux (?) So it must be a linux partition. maybe ext3, ext4 type(?)
- partition boot sector must load the correct file!! the linux bootmgr.
With vista CD in the drive, and CD set to the only boot priority (the others disabled) I get the message - "no boot device available, press f1 to reboot, press f2 to enter setup) Without the CD, I get the same message.
It's weird though. I tried a paragon recovery disc, and it worked, and a windows 8 disc worked a little bit, and a ubuntu disc worked, but they only worked once and then they didn't work.
And about ISOs being booted from a USB - It has something to do with writing a MBR to the USB. There is a program I tried before that did it. And I also did it with Joli OS - which is linux. I forget the name of the dang program!
This other program you mentioned is just for burning windows 7
Does CD/DVD spin? So it has power? Try to boot from CD/DVD and the after "no boot device available" it says press f1 to reboot. press f1 then. Does it work then?
