    You can create restore DVDs that includes Vista. You can't however create an ISO of only Vista install files.

    If you want to do a clean installation, you'll have to locate a retail or upgrade DVD and work from there.

    A clean installation can be made as copies of the disk and an install by the disk compression utility.
