The rest of the Internet failed to enlighten me so I'll give a chance to Anon.
Right, so I DLed "Perfectly legitimately" Vista Ultimate Black. It installs correctly and everything is fine with the installation.
However, my problems start after the reboot. Once it's completely installed, it fail to boot as 'partition 80' is missing.
I burned the installations from an ISO file to a DVD then noticed a second (.bin) file named (bootfix) which most likely contains the required code for me to use "bootrec.exe /bootfix" in the command prompt as it failed when using the said command line with my burned installation DVD.
So, to solve this problem I first convert the .bin to .iso then proceed to burn both files on another DVD then atempt to boot from this new one for it to repair the partition correctly. Unfortunately, my computer won't recognize it as a bootable disc, skip it, and just try booting regularly as if I had inserted any regular CD.
I then try to merge the ISOs and burn the merged file on yet another DVD, yet the problem is the same: undetected by my computer as if it wasn't an installation CD.
Any ideas on how to solve this? pic slightly related.
