producing a bootable cd

[W Green]

Hi

I am running Nero Burning software on Win XP pro.

The help files in Nero talk about making a bootable cd, but only using
win98.

Is there any way I can make my own boot up file that I can add to the cd
when I burn it?


Thanks

WG

You need to post this in maybe Nero's forums or newsgroups. Microsoft can't
support their products.

A bootable CD normally implies a DOS basis, and support only for FAT 32
hard drives - for that, a Win98 startup floppy is as good as anything;
if you do not have one, then download from www.bootdisk.com

For repair of XP, the CD itself is bootable. To get a more advanced
bootable system to work with NTFS you can try
http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
which works with your own XP CD to make a basic version of that which
will boot and run from the resulting CD to do rather more than the
recovery boot can

It may be worth noting that PE Builder only supports the US keyboard.
