OK, so I managed to take my broken Vista DVD and make a bootable version from it. How, you may ask? With CDIMAGE GUI and some info from the Internets.
CDIMAGE works like mkisofs (the Linux utility), but this GUI utility has, well, a GUI. So it's better. Maybe :).
Anyway, I copied the contents of the DVD to a folder on my hard drive and then ran CDIMAGE GUI. The link has a nice little walkthrough. All I needed to worry about was the boot sector file (\boot\etfsboot.com), the volume name (which I made something like "VistaBizUpgd") and where to save it. Then I tested it in Virtual PC just to make sure. Voila! Works like a charm.
