Have you seen these around the net were someone has added things to the win xp disc so you can not only install windows but other stuff to. This is presented in a gui usually done with "Autoplay menu builder" or something similar, so if your in windows and you put the cd in up comes the gui. But although these hybrid type cd,s are bootable if you boot from one the gui ive mentioned does not appear instead xp,s own installer loads. What im wondering, is there a way of making such a gui appear when you boot from the cd.

Thanks. i will have a read through that.

Ive picked up some tips from that link you gave Briar, its not exactly what i was looking for. I was thinking of something that would load instead of the xp-installer with choices on it such as

Install windows xp

install software

I will stop there as ive just thought, i couldnt install software without the os installed. Dont know what iwas thinking of , obviously losing it
