Making an XP CD

Is there a way to make an XP CD?? I know that there is but I have had trouble finding the right way to do it. I'm trying to create a new XP CD because my version is old and it doesn't have the new drivers and updates for my machine, so it takes me longer to reinstall everything right.

dear all ,

The guide to windows xp sp1 bootable cd

requirements

1) Windows Xp Setup files i386 directory copy it to particular drive say c:\i386 before that create a folder called wxp here is the finall process c:\wxp\i386

2) catch hold of windows xp service pack 1a and extract file and slipstream it to installation file C:\XP_SP1a.exe /X /U:c:\wxp.

3)A dialog box will pop-up and show the progress report.

4) Now browse the c:\wxp directory we shall find new files.

a) SPNotes.htm -> service pack installation

b)WINIP.sp1 (something like that with .SP1 extension at last) ** very important dont' delete this tells that windows that it is SP1 slipstreamed file with i386

5) Now browse www.betaplace.co.uk and download the bootable image for Windows XP

6) take note of these files finally to create cd.

i386-> windows installation files.

AUTORUN.INF & setup.exe -> autorun for setup if installed in win mode.

WIN51->identifier for windows

WIN51IP -> BOOTABLE IMAGE HELPER

WIN51IP.SP1 ->identifer for Service pack 1 splistreamed with installation files

7)Finally to create bootable cd using Nero burning rom use 07C0

and use sector count as 4 . If we use 0000 insteas of 07C0 the cd would'nt boot.

8) Coming to CD label here is the list.

i) Windows XP Professional (SP1a) Retail X1APFPP_EN

ii)Windows XP Home (SP1a) Retail X1AHFPP_EN

iii)Windows XP Professional (SP1a) OEM X1APOEM_EN

iv)Windows XP Home (SP1a) OEM X1AHOEM_EN

v) Windows XP Professional (SP1a) (VLK)(Corporate) X1APVOL_EN

vi)Windows XP Home (SP1a) (VLK)(Corporate) X1AHVOL_EN
