Title: Custom Bootable XP Pro DVD with all the options
Post by: Trace Myers on February 02, 2004, 04:30:54 PM

Ok, I slipstreamed about everything available into both WinXP Pro and Office XP. I also have several other apps I would like to install any time I do a clean install but I do not want to image my hdd for this. (I do use imaging software but I install on many different hardware configs.) I got all of the files together, put them all in a single directory, with WinXP being the root directory. I then created a custom autorun app that allows me to install any application that I have included on the disk. Now I would like to make this DVD bootable into the Windows Install environment just like the standard winxp disk. I used iso buster and ripped the boot image from one of my other slipstreamed cd's and used that and the latest version of Nero to create a bootable DVD. The autorun works and I can install anything but the boot functions do not work. If anyone can help me on the bootability factor, please help me out, I could use it.
