I had a technet bootable dvd with vista on it.  Someone lost it.  I copied the files over to the network before the guy lost it.

I want to now create a bootable dvd such as xp or whatever where you can choose to boot from the cd.

How can I do this?  It is such a nightmare, the guy lost it and now I am stuck here with just the files.

Please do it this way:
1) Download the addtached ZIP file, and extract vista.bif from it
2) Start UltraISO, choose 'New'->'Bootable CD/DVD' from main menu, and specify vista.bif as boot file
3) Darg & drop all files and folders to image area (uppler panel)
4) Save to an ISO image and press F7 to burn

thanks alot.  so this is the missing boot image file I need?  Also, I read a post about vista needing some patch for the install?  Any idea?  And this can't be installed from the network either using a network boot disk?

If a previous beta version is present in your computer, you may need a patch to remove the 30 day trial limitation. I am sorry that no suggetion for this issue will be provided.
