Help pls: trying to burn an image of an ISO

Guest

Background: have created a slipstream ISO file using AutoStreamer. The
slipstream is an EOM XP Pro SP1 CD and an SP2 download .exe file. The
slipstraem appears to have worked ok in that it created a .ISO file to my
hard disk.

Following instructions from another contributor to this group I used (Nero
version 5.5) to burn an imiage onto my CD. The instructions were simply File
Image Burn > and then select your ISO file and start burning. A couple of
things resulted from that 1) the "image" file is created on my hard disk and
not the CD; 2) the image file has an extension of .nrg.

I then have to use the file copy wizard to move the nrg extension "image"
file to the CD.

I accept that something isn't quite right here - don't think it is in the
creation of the ISO but I would have expected the image to be a bootable CD.
As the ISO was created from an OEM CD that contain a bootable image?

Can anyone help please?

Should I be creating a bootable CD from Nero and if so where can I get a
bootable image as it seems to want one?

Or, as per the instructions I was following should it be a case of burning
the ISO straight to CD as an image but I am missing something in the burn
image step? Perhps I am missing something from Nero 5.5 - it was a freebie!
Do I need something called NeroImageDriver to effectively burn images? Is
that why it is "burning" the image straight to my hard-disk?

Sorry, many questions I know, but any help would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks.
Regards

in nero select your writer as the medium you are writing to, it sounds like
you set to record to hard disc, then it is simply select burn image, select
the iso and burn to disc

ISO files are image files, just burn them onto your CD. In Nero Express,
click "Disc Image or Saved Project", then select your ISO file, click
Open...as for the remaining steps, do it yourself. Remember to select your
CD-RW drive as the recorder, not Image Recorder.

When you slipstream a service pack into your installation, you aren't
copying the existing XP CD; you are copying it's files, then
slipstreaming the new files into it. Programs like autostreamer do
this for you, but don't provide the files that need to be on the CD to
make it bootable. Programs like Nero will do this, but you have to
specify it, and often provide the boot image for it to use.
