tutorial is for creating a recovery disk for Vista which will enable
you to attempt to rescue Vista installations which are corrupt.

Please note that the recovery disk cannot be used for actually installing Vista itself – only for repairing!

Vista disk. If you do not have one then follow the instructions below:

Or licenced products such as:

ISO Buster

Once you have burned the image to disc we can then proceed to the next step – how to recover Microsoft Vista.

you may need to change your BIOS settings to enable your CD Rom as the
1st boot device.

As your computer boots you should see the screen below appear.

All you need to do here is to select the details which are relevant to your computer and click on the Next button.

this is done highlight your operating system (There should only be one
