Making bootable CD?


Recommended Posts

What i did was load my xp cd in the cd-rom, edited what i wanted and then in Nero Smartstart tried to burn it back to cd as data, but now it wont boot from cd. I tried using MagicISO to convert what i had on the new cd to a .uif then tried using that on cd to boot from, but no luck.

What should i do to get my new XP onto a bootable cd?

thx!

lol yea... figured it wouldnt be as easy as thought.

it was an unattended version of XP Corp, i just added a .exe program in there that would add desktop shortcuts after a fresh install. shouldnt be too much to burn it back to cd should it?

If I remember correctly, Nero Smartstart does not provide for an option to create a bootable CD.

"Full" Nero does, but won't it be better to use mkisofs (optionally wuth a GUI for it)?

Even a very simple one like these will work:

(second one has pre-sets for XP boot CD's, if I recall right)
