Ernest Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 On the Quickstart page of XPCreate.com, under the What you'll need: section, 'Original Windows CD' is listed as a needed item.If I want to use an Windows XP Upgrade CD (along with, if needed, a Windows 98 CD), will that work? Or is the full version of XP CD (Pro or Home) required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarquel Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Its been said before i believe.Only the OEM, Vol, and retail version's of XP are supported by XPCREATE. The Upgrade CD is different in that you cannot (as I recall) boot the CD (i.e. you can only run the update from within a version of Windows) so it cannot be used.Whether you can use XPCREATE to make a updated version of the Update CD, I cant say I'm afraid as I dont have it to try that.RegardsNath.

You can boot and do clean install from upgrade CD, it will just ask you to insert your previous version cd if it doesnt find it on the drive. XPCREATE works fine with upgrade CD.
