    you have 3 options:

    1. download the ready zipped iso - if you are an enterprise customer

    2. dowvnload the MOAsetup and follow instructions

    3. visit boot-land.net and create a LiveXP with Converter

    option 1 is for the lazy guys - the other 2 need some work during creation but produce superior results

    Ulli is right on...

    The lazy way will get you a clean P2V, but the hard way will produce a nice tool for many uses. It is nice to have a "home brew" utility CD that also acts as a rescue CD if needed. I have a MOA CD, a BartPE CD and a few Linux live CDs in my toolbox.
