bootable? are you talking about autorun? If yes you can add an
autorun.infthat contain something like this code:[AutoRun]
OPEN=MySetUpSubFolder\SetUp.exe
ICON=MyIcon.ico(It will be execute only if the PC where you will insert the CD has autorun enabled.)

No, Russell' bootable means that when the PC is turned on it won't read operating system and start Windows for instance on drive C:\ but it will start by reading the very FIRST 512Kb Sector of the CD-ROM which contains a special program called the boot program and the BIOS is responsible for loading this program in memory and then this program will become in charge!

Please nkjha1 read first my reply to Russel', and then you must know that since you had the files you should order/get from Microsoft the CD IMAGE of Windows XP which burns the boot sector first and then the other files similar to the ones on your harddisk, this is a bit hard to be done manually since you must locate the bootsector program first! I strongly advice you to ask for a replacement of the orignal CD-ROM and not do it by hand!!

Hi if u have Dos Formatted Floppy (CONTAINING SYSTEM FILES IN IT else format floppy using command :
format /s) with you u can use Nero Express to create Bootable CD Insert Blank CD in Writer and start nero select option Create Bootable Disk in that yo set the System file copy from Floppy and Burn cd i think this may help youThe Stifler -- Bugs can neither be created nor be removed from software by a developer. They can only be converted from one form to another. The total number of bugs in the software always remain constant.

I know this:-D, but I was hoping that the OP was wronging the word, make the boot disk to install Win XP is not a grat idea, it's very complex and if you wrong something it's hard to restore the system. X|

Your right about how to create a boot disk but the boot program on the first 512KB Sector is not DOS's one and you must know exactly where to find that specific boot sector program and not just any program!
