Boot Image

[Aylen]

Hey guys,

Just a quick question. Can I use a boot image (ie, "Microsoft Corporation.img") from my Windows XP Pro OEM with Windows Home OEM? as well as the 2 retails? (Home retail and Pro Retail)?

Reason I am asking is I am getting tired of carrying around all the discs I burned, or trying to find the right disk. I have 1 Desktop that has Pro OEM, 1 laptop has Pro Retail, 1 laptop has Home Retail and my sister-in-law has Home OEM. As you all might know. The serial keys of the OEMs do not work with the keys on the Retails. It would just be nice to have all the versions on 1 disk for boot up. Problem is, I only have the Disk for XP Pro OEM. The others are either lost or recovery disks.

I can setup the Multiboot DVD, I just need to know about the "Boot Image", if I can use only 1 for all the versions?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Yes, you may use one boot image file for XP PRO and XP Home.
