ISO labels

[vipejc]

Is it necessary to change nLite's default Label from WinLite to the label of the Windows installation disc for the bootable ISO to boot? For example, change WinLite to GRTMHFPP_EN?

I know that if the label of some Windows installation discs isn't an exact match, the disc won't boot. nLite doesn't warn about this, but I just want to be sure so I don't burn a coaster.

I've never seen that with an XP disc. The disc label is cosmetic here. If you really don't want to burn coasters, try your ISOs in VirtualBox before you burn one.

Just to be safe I changed it.

Well, no.

This is not "just to be safe", it is "unneededly" or "just for the fun of it", meaning that there is no - as you have been told by Ponch - known connection between the label (volume name or volume id) and bootability of the CD.

There are quite a number of info on an original XP .iso or CD.

If you run isoinfo -d on the actual original .iso (utility that is part of cdrecord tools, like mkisofs), you may get something similar to:

CD-ROM is in ISO 9660 format
