tursiops

It's a full version of Windows XP Professional, has autorun and what not so that you can install as an upgrade if you so choose, but you also can boot from floppies and install fresh. My hope is to use the slipstream tutorial to make a bootable version of the CD. I'm actually trying to install the OS onto a Virtual machine in Virtual PC so I don't have access to floppies on the machine and need to be able to boot from CD for a new installation.

I don't see anything on the guide page referencing cdimagepro, is this a cd burning utility or what? Here is the guide I'm using: http://www.msfn.org/articles.php?action=show&id=22

I chose the boot.bin file I downloaded from the tutorial as the bootable image source. The CD that I actually copied the CD-ROOT data from was not an originally bootable cd. Could this have anything to do with it? This is actually why I am trying to streamline a CD b/c I need a bootable Windows XP cd but the current XP cd I have is not bootable and requires me to use a series of floppies to boot a machine and then install from the CD. Any suggestions? Thanks again !

I followed the instructions for creating a bootable streamlined XP cd with SP1. After burning the cd I tried to boot from it and received the following error: BOOT: Couldn't find NTLDR Please insert another disk Does anyone have an idea as to what I might have done wrong and how I can fix this? Thanks in advance for your time!
