I have been try8ng to create a bootable Windows XP disc with SP2 slip-streamed in. According to the directions I need to use Nero Burning ROM 6. I have an OEM disc of Nero and have updated Version 6 from the Ahead site to Version 6.6.1.4. The download specifically mentions Nero Burning ROM 6 as a component. But, even though the Nero directory under Ahead includes a NeroBurningRom_eng.pdf file, which describes menu choices, such as File, etc. no such menu appears when I run Nero.exe. Therefore, I cannot do any of the following steps: "First, start Nero Burning ROM and choose CD-ROM (Boot) from the New Compilation's Boot page. Then, under "Source of boot image data," choose "Image file" and select C:\Microsoft Corporation.img by clicking the Browse button. Then, select the option titled "Enable expert settings (for advanced users only)" and change "Kind of emulation" to No Emulation, and change "Number of loaded sectors" to 4. The "Load segment of sectors" option should remain at its default value of 07C0." Would appreciate some help. Thanks.
When I was using Nero6, I found 6.6.1.4 to be "buggy", I would suggest you uninstall, run this clean tool http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/en/Clean_Tools.html and install this more stable version, both packages, http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Package 2 http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe
I followed all the steps you outlined: cleaning out Nero and downloading and installing the two packages. But I came up with, basically, the same interfaces. When I click on "Make Bootable CD," I get Nero Express. That program has no menu selections, and I do not get the New Compilations window as shown in : http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slipstream.asp#nero I have done all the steps up to: Step 5a: Make a bootable XP SP2 CD with Nero Burning ROM 6. At that point, I am unable to proceed further. Please advise. And thanks for your help.
