    I need to do a reboot of my computer and reinstall windows xp on it. I have a windows xp that is a bin file, and a cue file. have a bin file of windows xp, and windows media, ven though I don't need windows media. The cd that has been burned has so many files, these are the files on the cd: There are about 8 files. What do I do next. what exactly do I need to burn, to be sure when I wipe out my computer and have no operating system on it, I can pop my disk in and have an operating system.

    The file opened in power iso. I saw the bin and the cue file. Once, I mounted the image, I was able to burn ( the bin file 680,000 kb) it in nero. It placed about 8 files on the cd. I burnt the image. I see the files on the cd. However, it is a lot of files. What will happen when I have no operating system on my hard drive and need to install from this cd. Will it open this cd correctly, and run it just like it would if it came straight from the manufacturer.
