How do you make a bootable XP disk?

WaXT · Sep 4, 2010, 03:09 AM

Hi TPU,
Anyone know how to make a Windows XP (x64) bootable disk using Nero?

AsRock · Sep 4, 2010, 03:18 AM

Better using XPLite then you can add service packs and mod XP and make it totally automatic on install.

WaXT · Sep 4, 2010, 03:27 AM

Thanks. Ill try it out later on. But do you know what is the boot image for xp besides that boot.ima ?

Just downloaded XPLite.. NOT compatible for Windows 7

(even on compatability mode)

OMG That was the software I was looking for. I thought it was nero so I intalled nero on my system. This software detects whether it is os installation or not right?

Just burn as image. That's what you want for a bootable disk. Doesn't matter if it's an OS or anything else.

I had a problem when imgburn and nero were installed on win 7,
I had to go into imgburn options and change it from "STPI" to the other option, can't remember which. Keep that in mind in case you have a conflict.

Other than that, Imgburn seems to know everything - try and make it do the wrong thing and it will tell you off and put you right!

nero sucks on monkey balls. making a bootable iso is easy (you'd just need few tiny files) and you can burn it on win7 it supports isos.
