Making a custom bootable CD?

[RallosZek]

oops posted a blank thread haha..

Anyway, i want to make a DVD version of my handy custom setup disks (which are drivers + patches + utils etc) .
This time i have a DVD burner though so im wanting to throw some kind of boot menu onto my disc. and have an XP CD on the DVD that i can setup on my system from a format. i also want to put office 2003 and norton antivirus on here too, along with all my drivers and stuff.

Is there anyway i can do this? and if so can someone point me in the direction of a straightfoward guide or care to explain it to me in a dumb downed fashion? =p

thanks alot

Nero 5 does a nice job...

Um... right. The only difference between a bootable floppy and bootable CD is what medium you put the required files on. Higher quality CDs are incredibly more stable. However, some situations require booting from a floppy with the OS's install disk in the drive and run the installer manually if need-be. If you only have a bootable CD, you might be screwed.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

Edit: okay, just reread the post and I'm a little more clear now.

Do a google search for slipstream xp. That will allow you to put XP and service packs on a bootable CD, and I think the same techniques should work for a DVD as well. In addition, I believe you can just copy the Office files directly into the same directory structure they originated on into your DVD and install from there (there should be a setup.exe). Sounds like it will be a little bit of work though...

I wonder if something like Ultimate Boot CD could be accomplished, using CD images instead of floppy images? Then you could boot up into a menu and choose to install XP, Office, or whatever else.
