How to back up and/or slipstream Vista DVD?

[Skaiwalker1]

I would like to

1. Make a backup of my Vista DVD
2. Slipstream some things (such as the latest Catalyst driver) into a Vista DVD.

Is this possible? I read that Vista is different from XP.

If you want to make a backup copy, just use ImgBurn and copy it into an iso file or copy it to another DVD. Nothing special there.

I haven't used it, but vLite is the Vista equivalent of nLite. I believe that would allow you to add new drivers. I've alays found this to be somewhat of a waste of time, because you'd need to update the entire disc anytime new drivers came out. I've opted for using a 2 GB USB Thumb Drive with all my drivers on it.

I don't think that he asked if it was a waste of time.

djnes was nice enough to tell the OP how to slipstream drivers into his/her Vista DVD image. Then djnes gave an polite opinion with an explanation of why he/she thought it was a waste of time.

You, on the other hand, didn't give any useful information and only criticized somebody else who was nice enough to answer the OP.

See the difference?
