Bootable CD

[Sulla]

Does anyone know how I can create a windows XP CD for installation?

I have XP saved to my Hard drive but I need to format my hard drive so I need to make a bootable installation CD.

you have to already have an xp installation cd i'm pretty sure. i don't think you can create one from the OS you have on your hard drive.

i created an iso image for the xp folder i have (.iso) and burned it to a cd, just like linux, but that didn't help much. But I thought that you can boot any software from a cd if you do it the right way.

Yes, you can copy it. Don't know if it's legal, though.

yes, I know what you mean. I'm want to phase out my OS from XP to linux I'm sick of this legality stuff everytime I want to things with microsoft. I hoping in a few months I'd have only linux on.

Thanks for the link major.
