You mean it doesnt give you the option to boot from cd after your computers bios boots up??

If so, did you use the proper boot image when you burned the disc?

[XtremeMaC]

did your original xp cd boot?

check the bios if it supports from booting from cd

if it does check the boot order

and still if it does, how did u burn your cd?

[gpm1968]

thanx

LOL

Thanks not nice.

Anyway, go here http://www.theeldergeek.com/slipstreamed_xpsp1_cd.htm

If youve already sucessfully slipstreamed your xp, skip down to the part on how to burn and make it bootable.

It wasnt meant to be nasty, just honest. If a user isnt able to burn a CD.. who knows what other problems will occur when the user actually gets that Unattended CD to boot?

There was also a time that i did not know how to burn a bootable CD.

Thanks to Exodia, this person was sent in the correct direction.
