Bootable Windows XP

[Kevin C.]

I want to make a backup copy of my Windows XP CD. However I cannot seem to
make a bootable copy.

Someone says there are settings I have to change in Nero.

Under Nero what are the settings,

Boot
- Kind of emulation: Floppy Emulation 1.44MB
- Boot message: Nero Boot-Loader V6.0
- Load segment of sectors (hex!): 07C0
- Number of loaded sectors: 1
ISO
- File name length: Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 chars (ISO Level 1)
- Format: Mode 1
- Character set: ISO 9660 (standard ISO CD-ROM)

These are default when I create a new CD-ROM (Boot) compilation. But I
remember it's different for Windows XP bootable.

Do you know the settings?

Just use the Windows CD burning application.

Number if you have extracted the boot files from an XP CD to a file
needs to be 4

Also make sure you select 'Finalize CD, no more burning' on the Burn
page

But better to use a proper copying method to make an ISO file of the
entire disk to HD, then burn. Free -
