Can windows XP be burned and bootable off a DVD?

[Degenerate]

I’m trying to make an unattended XP with a crap load of drivers and software, can this be burned on a DVD?

thanks!

The short answer: Yes

Other than the media's capacity, there is no difference

whatsoever in placing DATA files onto the media.

Of course... Only sizes matters.

I have also outgrown a CD and want to use a DVD.

When burning on to CD I use Nero and have a boot file I point it to.

I try to use the same file when burning to the DVD, but when I try and boot from it, it doesn't work.

What is the process for burning to a DVD to make it bootable, where am I going wrong?

Thanks

What size is your image, im having probs booting a DVD which is 1.6gb, worked fine <900mb...

Only thing I can think of is that I extraced the boot image from an original CD, and am wondering if this is the reason...

Searchin for dvd boot image at mo to find out....

How do you make a multi boot cd?

I use the CDIMAGEGUI at the msfn site, and use alcohol to burn it. Used it on cd's and dvd's. Not a single problem ever.
