I downloaded windows xp professional sp2...my question is, how do i make the cd a bootable cd....i've burn the files onto the cd but it doesn't seem to boot, but the cd's autorun feature does work when i put it in...can someone explain to me what i'm doing wrong. thank you.
If you got your copy legitimately, all you should have to do is burn the iso as it is... I'm not going to ask. Otherwise in Nero you have to specify you want to make the disc bootable, then pull the boot information off of another bootable Microsoft CD, I think you need to change something that says Floppy Disk Emulation to off and change the number of sectors or something to like 4. Search for information relating to slipstreaming Windows CDs, they have detailed instructions for doing something similar.
