Sebastiaan Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 seems like you didn't make the ISO bootable, did you also go here: http://unattended.msfn.org/ ?On finalizing the CD: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/finish.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWILL Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 I had a similar problem making a bootable CD, I dont remember the exact error message.I finally downloaded the CDIMAGE and batch file from the page that Sebastiaan pointed out. On finalizing the CD: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/finish.htmHeres the dowload for XP PROhttp://unattended.msfn.org/files/CDImage_Pro.zipJust unzip and run the batch file and youll have a bootable image. Very easy... You may want to open up the batchfile and take a look at it before you run it to make sure its pointing to your directories.goodluck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWILL Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 i have a xpsp1 intergrated cd. & i also have normal xp cd.should i slipstream my own copy of xp with sp1 or should i just stick with the sp1 intergrated cd files?I would use the the integrated one because its already done! Im sure the Service Packs are NOT updated (thats why there are hotfixes) , so the one you already have integrated should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
