Putty Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I have all the files for XP in a folder on my PC. Copied all files from a disc to a folder. I need to be able to boot to the disc now when I burn it....How do I burn the disc to make it bootable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 well as long as you have ALL the files off the XP disc, just burn it as a data disc and it should work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 well as long as you have ALL the files off the XP disc, just burn it as a data disc and it should work Ditto. I think its the boot.ini file that actually makes it bootable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Yes as long as the folder still has the hidden boot files its ok. Next time you copy a disk to your machine copy it as an .ISO file. That should be a perfect copy of it. Almost every program burns an .ISO file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshymkiw83 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Make all the files into an ISO, and then in Nero select "Burn Image" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
