Bootable Cd

[dd_uk]

I have just spent a VERY frustrating afternoon slipstreaming XP SP3.

 

When I come to burn the results to CD, all appears to be well and the CD auto opens when insterted whilst running XP. BUT, try as I might I cannot get roxio to burn a CD that will boot from the BIOS.

 

Having already wasted 5 CD's and the program help not helping, can someone else please advise.

With all due respect, I have purchased what purports to be an all singing all dancing fully featured program for writing to CD's & DVD's.

 

Now you are telling me that I shouldn't use that program.

 

Please tell how to do it using Roxio

It is really up to you. You dance around it all night with Roxio and find out it really doesn't do that one thing very well or just follow some sage advice and be done with it.

Click on Bootable Disc, in Creator Classic.

All I'm saying is that if you want a fully slipstreamed bootable iso with automated install, drivers and patches - you make the iso with nLite

 

Then use Roxio for everything else.

 

nLite is free btw - but it only makes a iso image - it won't do anything else

If you are slipstreaming, the iso image is what you want. Nothing else is needed, except to burn it as a bootable disc, and EMC 10 can do that.

 

And yes, I know that you know that.

To make a slipstreamed bootable CD, I always found it better to use nLite to make the iso

 

That will auto-slipstream the Service Pack, any other MS patches and also your drivers into the disc and will also create a bootable 'standard' iso file which you then burn with EMC

 

You can even add your network settings, user name and CD key into it - as well as remove stuff that you know you never use
