For example, you could do this with cdimage this way:

cdimage -lWHXFPP_EN -t08/18/2001,12:00:00 -n -h -bd:boot.bin d:winxp d:whxfpp.iso

this will mastering the files from directory d:winxp with
cdlabel whxfpp_en, filedate 8/18/2001 and 12:00 timestamp, also with hidden files and support for long file names, and create the iso in d:

TO CREATE AND BURN A BOOT CD IN NERO:  (xp bootable)

1) Close the \"Wizard\" and select \"File\" \"New\"
2) Scroll down the CD types and select \"CD-ROM (Boot)\"
3) A New right pane BOOT tab will appear. Select \"image File\" as the \"Source of Boot
Image Data\" and browse until you point to the \"xpboot.img\" file you downloaded above,
or \"xpboot.bin\" or \"boot.bin\" if you already have those files.
4)\"Enable Expert Settings\" and select \"NO EMULATION\", Boot Message is MICROSOFT CORPORATION, Load Segment remains default of 07C0, and change Number of Loaded Sectors to 4.
5) Click on LABEL Tab, enter the Volume Label as WXPVOL_EN for Corporate Build or whatever is correct. Enter MICROSOFT_CORPORATION as the \"Publisher\" and \"Data Preparer\".
6) Click BURN Tab and make sure \"Write\", \"Finalize CD\", and Write Method of \"Disc-At-Once\" are checked.
7) Click ISO tab to check. The defaults on this tab are correct - they are ISO level 1, Mode 1, ISO 9660, Joliet
8) Click \"New\" in the right corner to add your files. Add files with Drag & Drop as normal. When you have finished with your files, select the \"Write CD\" icon or \"File, Write CD\"
9) The boot dialog box will pop-up again, and if you\'re paranoid you can double check your settings. On the boot tab your \"Expert\" settings are grayed out, but still there - this is normal.
10) Select \"Write\" and burn your bootable CD.

Option: Once the CD is burned you can save your setup in Nero. Then when you want to burn another XP Corporate Boot Disk, just open the saved *.nrb and burn. The saved file is just a list of files and settings.

Now you can create your Boot CD\'s with Nero without having to use another program when you need to create a bootable CD from files!!
remeber you need the boot image which is 2kb

the best way to do it is to have two drives, obviosuly one being a cd rw and the other a cdrom or a dvd...you need to follow the instaructions i posted..you need to put the xp cd in the cd rom/dvd drive and drag the contents to the boot cd that you should of made and then burn, and this will allow all files to copy, if you havnt got a spare cd rom drive you will have problems doing it this way..

sorry i mist out the vital info, you need to make a change to the registry.....


Edit the Registry:


____________
1) Start -> Run \"regedit\" and go to \"HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareaheadNero - Burning ROMGeneral\"

2) In the right pane the top entry is \"AddISOFileVersion\"
 

3) Right Click on \"AddISOFileVersion\" and select \"Modify\"
 

4) The value will be \"1\", highlight the value and change to \"0\" - that\'s zero.

5) Close regedit, reboot

and then do what you did before, it should work

Help,
I\'ve tried to make my WinXP cd bootable and have run into
a problem, cd boot windows installation program starts running
and then stops telling me that it cannot find EULA. I\'ve checked
and EULA.txt is in i386 directory. Is there another one
I am missing?

Thanks

Some of the new Bios have what you call (cd boot), go in to your bios and look for a menu should be the 2rd one down and go into it, move down to were it say\'s boot sequence,
and use page up and page down located nere the delete and end button and move arross to c,cd rom,a / cd rom,c,a make the cd rom first like this cd rom,c,a or some thing like that, press ESC and save to cmos and exit. Put the XP cd in to the Dvd,Cd Rom, Cdr,Crw and it will boot from the cd.  Good luck

FORMAT C:/U/S

U means uncerdesed format and S means make drive C bootable
