All i want to burn 4 CDs ( bootable ) with the full 2.52 GB bootable ISO splitted into 4 parts , in such a way that on inserting the 1st CD ( vistaimage.isz ) it automatically boots to start installation of Vista ( clean installatioin after a complete format of my hard disk ) and automatically prompting me to insert the 2nd CD ( vistaimage.i01 ) to continue installation and like wise the 3rd and the 4th CDs to complete the process of installation .
Also specify , after opening the configuration window and selecting the compression tab what kind of compression method should i choose from the drop down menu ?
And again while burning the CDs , should I burn it with Disk-at-once option or Track-at-once ? ( though I have tried both burning option in vein , as it never worked to make my Cd a bootable one ).

Thanx a lot bro....hats off... the link z of great help !
But its a bit dufficult to understand all the steps and get them work for me 
Should i download the WAIK (Windows Automated Installation Kit) or is it possible to all the steps by just downloading and installing parts of WAIK ( for eg. imageX ) ?
If you know how to make these steps more lucid for a newbie like me or even some links where it has been discussed then please throw more light !
Anyway a lots and lots of thanks to you for what you have already done!
God Bless You !

Source: ISO image of Vista
Tools: WAIK, UltraISO
Instructions:
1,Open Vista DVD ISO with UltraISO, change current path to "\sources", extract install.wim to local harddisk, for example "f:\temp\install.wim";
2, Setup WAIK. Under windows XP, if some elements missed (such as .net framework 2.0, MSXML 6.0), the setup program will display prompt message.
3, Run "Start"->"All Programs"->"Microsoft Windows AIK"->"Windows PE Tools Command Prompt"
4, Splitting image. Enter the following command:
imagex /split f:\temp\install.wim f:\temp\install.swm 340
Note:
- "f:\temp\install.wim" is the source image to be splitted
- "f:\temp\install.swm" is target images
- "340" is the size of splitted images, in MB.
5, Pack to ISO.
1) Open the ISO image of VISTA DVD with UltraISO, change current path to "\sources", delete install.wim, add "f:\temp\install.swm" here, then save as vista_cd1.iso
2) Choose 'File'->'New'->'UDF DVD image' from main menu of UltraISO, create a new folder and rename it as 'sources', add "f:\temp\install2.swm" and "f:\temp\install3.swm" to this folder, save as vista_cd2.iso
3) Repeat step 2) to create CD3, CD4, etc.
6, Burn to recordable CD's

Thanx a lot ! Thanx ton !
With your LUCID steps elaborated here anyone ( even a blind person  ) can easily follow the steps .
OK I understood everything , except two things :
1 ) a. what should be the right size of the splits if i use 80 mins CD Rom ?
b. if i use a 90 mins CD Rom then will it be ok if i need to overwrite it while burning ?
2) QUOTE Choose 'File'->'New'->'Data CD/DVD image' from main menu of UltraISO, create a new folder and rename it as 'sources', add install2.swm and install3.swm to this folder, save as vista_cd2.iso
will it make any difference if i rename the folder as ''xyz'' instead of 'sources' ?
P.S.- i used the following command
CODE imagex /split D:\vista\install.wim G:\install.swm 650
instead of this one CODE imagex /split f:\vista\sources\install.wim f:\temp\install.swm 380

well regarding my second question i think since windows extraxts all its install.wim to a default folder named 'sources' , so that may be a reason to rename the folder in 2nd and subsequent CDs as 'sources' . I may be wrong , but tell me if i m right !
thanx .

This is how the vista dvd ISO looks like after opening it in UltraISO .
QUOTE 5, Pack to ISO.
1) Open the ISO image of VISTA DVD with UltraISO, remove install.wim, add install.swm, then save as vista_cd1.iso
2) Choose 'File'->'New'->'Data CD/DVD image' from main menu of UltraISO, create a new folder and rename it as 'sources', add install2.swm and install3.swm to this folder, save as vista_cd2.iso
3) Repeat step 2) to create CD3, CD4, etc.
Now can you please tell me what to remove and which one to add ? i m confused as there is nothing called install.wim in the window. I hv downloaded install.wim seperately before making this dvd ISO on my hard drive .

1) install.wim is under 'sources' folder of Vista ISO. It should be deleted and replaced by install.swm (one of the splitted images) at the same place
2) the size of splitted images should be: vista_cd1.iso can hold install.swm and original setup files/folders properly.
