A CD can be made bootable but it requires extracting a very-hidden file from the WinXP CD first and making it available to the CD Burning program. I use IsoBuster for that. [url]http://www.isobuster.com/[/url] For the purpose its use is free.

This is the necessary file [zipped]:

so i was asking on an early post about adding stuff to the windows xp cd, like office and such. thanks to Berton i got a link to the motherload of stuff;). The Problem now is the cd is not being recognized as a boot disk!!

when i burnt the dvd and reinserted it, the autorun feature worked exactly as it should, the exact effect im getting off of my regular xp disk im getting. But when i tried to use it on virtual pc, im getting a msg to insert a boot disk

i had already set everything for it to properly boot off of the disk, but yet when the system is booted if u acess the dvd everything is working fine. you can update or fresh install, the option menu opns as it should.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This here is select peices of the file that im using to modify the disk:

[Option0]
Caption=Windows XP
DataText1=Windows XP SP2 Professional Edition
DataText2=Use this option to install or upgrade to Windows XP Professional with Pre-SP3 Updates and Hotfixes slipstreamed.
DataText3=This CD is updated 14-10-2006 by ryanvm update pack 2.1.3 (http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/). The CD is nLited (http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=SF&&s=&&f=89).
Cmd=%RootDir%\i386\winnt32.exe
Action=OPEN

DataText2=Use this option to install Everest Ultimate Edition 2006.
Cmd=%RootDir%\$OEM$\CDSVCPAK\EvrUlt06\EvrUlt06.exe
CmdParameters=
Action=OPEN
