Is there any bootable CD for XP ?

[Eltano1]

I have a set of 7 floppies to boot XP, but I will like to have in a CD and I don't know if I put them on a CDR would work.

the xp cd itself is bootable!

Yes, I know, but I'm looking for a bootable XP cd, so I can use the same way as I use for Win 9x.

Thanks for the reply

when you boot of the XP cd, go to the recovery console, that will give you most of the functionality of a normal command prompt

You mean a pure dos prompt? XP doesn't have pure dos mode. www.bootdisk.com might have what you're looking for?

EDIT: guess not, helpful anyway though.

Seems to me Eltano wanted a guide on making the XP files bootable when burned back to CD, very hady for making your own XP SP1 CDs, boot to CD reinstall Windows XP, VIOLA SP1 installed too...

i suggest you take a look at Bart's way to create bootable CD-Roms. Probably the best howto create a bootable OS CD. They have information about creating slipstreamed Windows CD, automatic Ghost dumping bootable disc and a lot more on the subject. The autor is an MVP (Microsoft Most Valuable Professionnal) and the information is very accurate.
