I have one copy of my XP CD that I would like to copy to a new CD.

I have a ten license VLA with this one copy and just want a backup copy (bootable from CDROM) because then one I have has suffered the rigurs of several latenight installs and reinstalls (problems with NTFS on machines that were formerly (98, 2000, or XP Home, which I will pursue in aother post.

Just want to know whether it is possible to build a bootable copy with the standard XP Pro CD write piece.

Thanks, KANMAN
 
Kelly,

Best way is to use the disc copy feature in burning software, such as Nero
or Easy CD Creator.

Just copying the files won't work, and all the guides online regarding
creating a bootable cd all involve creating an iso and then burning it with
retail burning software.

a boot up disk just in case you you can't find a way to copy windows xp that
