Iso help

[aditya169]

I have an win xp iso file how can i install it without writing it on the cd ?

If you plan to do this by dual boot, it can be done by first installing another OS and then mounting the ISO on a virtual CD drive using emulators such as Alcohol 120%, etc... But if you want to a fresh install or reinstall etc, you need to burn a CD and then install from it...

first of all IMO u can do this only if u r using windows 98 or something.
use free tools like daemon tools, install it, and mount the image onto a virtual drive and install it.
tell me if this was of any help to u

ya
use daemon tools if u already have an installed windows 98/ME version already

Try copying the Contents to HDD by inserting on deamon tools.
Start setup from ur previous os and select fresh install and after restart the setup will read files from the disc backup copied on HDD.

Mount the iso image file in Daemon tools.

USE ALCOHOL 120 and Mount the iso image in the virtual drive and install through it

Is d ISO legal? Coz mods wont allow help on illegal stuff...

 

[Pathik]

ISOs r not illegal if u intend to use it personally and u possess the original...
