No reason why a dvd won't work. As long as there is a dvd writer, being used and the disk is being burned as a data disk.

Hi there, 1. Since DVD falls under "optical disc" category as CD's do, I believe (in theory) that DVD's should work. 2. There is no "image-based" installation - where you can create "self-installing image". This is only possible with Windows Vista installation. Or if you were talking about restoring your system from a saved image: in that case, a disk cloning software such as GHOST should be used to prepare a backup image of your "working" Windows installation.
