It is possible to extract the contents of an ISO file using some special programs that are specifically designed to extract the contents of an ISO file – however, most UNZIP tools will not do the job because ISO files are NOT ZIP files.

Windows Vista x64 Recovery Disc works fine to boot up but when I pick repair and it gets to where I pick the OS. It doesn’t see my hard drive and there is no OS. So I click load driver but the only place I can look to is the restore cd itself and I don’t find any drivers on it.
What I have tried so far is: I booted back into Vista and found the driver for my hard drive and copied it to a thumb drive and rebooted to the recovery disk. Looked to the thumb drive, But the driver doesn’t show up. It looks as if it is looking for the driver setup program for my hard drive. So I’m not sure where to find the setup.exe for my hard drive. Question: Is there not some way to download or copy all the drivers for Vista and put them on the recoery disk so it can use them. I would like to use this recovery disk on more than one PC.

Hi there, i downloaded the windows vista 32 bit image, i unzip the ziped file tha comes in the download, i am left with the following files: a folder named: boot inside are: bcd, boot.sdi, bootfix.bin a folder named: sources inside are: boot.wim and a file named: bootmgr. I thought this was gfoing to be simple, where i just download an.ISO image, then use imageburn to burn the image than pop it into my vista laptop that i forgot the password to. Please help me, im not that good when its not an.ISO to just simply burn.
Hi mate, unfortently i didnt get it to work, so i gave up on the bootable usb when i found out an option to run some sort of other menu on start up, i cant remember the name now. I saw on one of the menu’s after i pressed F2, so i pressed F10 and managed to run the repair tool. The problem i had was, when i typed in the correct password, it would come up with some kind of warning saying it was unable to log in, even though the password was right. So now i can use my laptop again.
Now i gota go and sort my dvd drive out lol. Thanks for your time and efforts to help me out etc i will be sure to keep this site bookmarked for futre use. Thanks again mate. My laptop was infected with a rootkit malware virus “Infected MBR (Master Boot Record) detected” A Nortons’ tech got rid of the virus and in doing so, it messed with the Windows 7 Startup. When Windows tries to start, it redirects to a black screen that says Windows Error Recovery. I Launched Startup Repair and this is what it gave me: Startup Repair diagnosis and repair log —————- Number of attempts: 5 System Disk = Device Harddisk0 Windows directory = C: Windows AutoChk Run = 0 Number of root causes = 1 Root cause found: ————— Unspecified changes to system configuration might have caused the problem. ————— Session details ————— The Nortons’ tech said it was a quick & easy fix if I had a disc and knew someone who knows what they’re doing to reconfigure a file in the startup, if that is what you call it?
Sorry, I am not very educated in the computer area. Lol I guess, it can be done without doing a system restore and losing any of my saved personal info! Can one of the listed links above get me to where I can find a copy of a startup disc? I desperstely need my laptop back! Thanks in advance for any help!!
