You are obviously not talking about a standard Windows XP setup, so no one can answer your question unless they know of an application that (you don't name) allows installing windows by using/starting a single 5Gig exe file.

More generally, it seems to me like you are slipping on a chocolate covered banana

Try describing what your final GOAL is (as opposed on asking how to solve an issue coming from a procedure that you think would be needed/useful to reach it).

Or, if you really want to continue on that particular path, provide the Standard Litany, please:

For the record, a CD or DVD does not normally have any actual "partition", it is usually a single volume, thus it may have a "filesystem", which can be CDFS or UDF commonly, but it is also possible (for largish files or if needed for any other reason) to use Hard Disk Emulation INSTEAD (this latter will actually have a partition and the filesystem of this partition can be any among FAT and NTFS).

you don't know my question...

It seems to me like Ponch "knows your question" alright.

The issue here is that it seems like you "know not your question" (and it is not that re-asking it in the exact same way and without providing any meaningful detail will help much).

Q.Can a standard windows XP Setup work in UDF?

A1. A suffusion of yellow.

A2. Try it and you will see if it does.

A3. Who knows? A standard XP setup CD is CDFS (and NOT UDF) and there is not one reason in the worlds to try if it works as UDF. (as it already works as CDFS)

Q. You mean that the "standard" Windows XP setup won't work in UDF or that the particular modified Windows XP setup I put together into a single 5 Gb .exe file(and that I won't detail how exactly I made) won't work?

A1. Both, as a double suffusion of yellow (with some touches of orange).

A2. Try them and you will see if they do.

A3. Who knows? Noone ever made a single 5 Gb .exe file from a Windows XP setup. You are a pioneer in the field.

No, XP setupldr.bin doesn't support UDF.

that 5Gig file is a setup file that i make and some programs is in it that should be in that disk...

Use ISO9660 1988 Level 3 instead, a 5 GB file is possible. ImgBurn can do it.

Move the big file to end of media.

Bootable XP DVD above 4.7GB possible?
