Well there are many steps to this. I have done it once before successfully by using the steps on a link I found on http://www.bootdisk.com\nYou can also visit this site for instructions.\nhttp://old.bink.nu/xpbootcd/

No. If your operating system is XP and you have Works installed, you can't copy these software to a CD....unless the setup files are saved somewhere on you computer.

If you have a cd burner in your computer you can. It's pretty self explanatory and once you put the blank cd in, you should be able to select the files you want to copy and then hit "burn" most cd burning programs are pretty user friendly.

The software can't do what you want. It will wipe out all content of your disk. The net result is as though you have first received the PC\n\nTo do what you want, you have to have a MS Windows CD

Press F2 on startup and go into the boot sequence and change to the cd drive.  Hit the escape button then save and exit.\n\n|||||||||||\n(¤¿¤)\n''''O''''

1) Download knoppix cd from url\nhttp://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/knoppix/KNOPPIX_V4.0.2CD-2005-09-23-EN.iso\n\n2) Use Nero CD Burning Software to burn image on CD (see sources for how to do this). Once done boot from CD.

No problem!  Create a bootable CD of Knoppix (see sources).  Set your BIOS to boot from CD. Burn the files you need to CD or copy them to a network drive.

If your BIOS does not support boot from CD, then you will have to boot from a floppy that has drivers and support for your CD.  \n\nYou haven't specified which operating system you are trying to install.\n\nA "setup" disk shipped with Windows 95 and Windows 98 will do this job.  Borrow such a floppy if you don't have one. \n\nFor XP, the necessary downloads to make such a floppy is available from Microsoft, see link in "sources".\n\nFor Linux, use rawrite to create a bootable floppy.  See second link in "sources".

1.  Buy Windows XP Upgrade Edition (recommend Professional, but Home edition is fine).  Pro:\n\nhttp://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=477481/sort_type=bottomline\n\n2. Pop it in your CD drive and boot computer.\n\n3. Follow prompts and answer questions that come up during setup wizard (simple).\n\n\n2b.  If your computer doesn't boot from CD or prompt to hit a key to boot, then you may need to set your CD as a boot drive in BIOS.  If that happens, you'll need additional instructions.  Post here.

Making a boot disk isnt too hard. First you need the boot disk image (available at site below) then you need to burn the image to a cd using software like nero or CDRWIN. Here is a website that will help you further.

Go to www.bootdisk.com They have downloads to various bootdisk.  You can also go to the computer you are using right now.  Click on my computer put in a empty floppy right click the floppy drive click format and click make system disk.

You can't. The "bootleg" copy your friend installed is not really that.  It belonged to someone and has a legal code of its own. But when your friend installed it he/she had to enter the code so call and ask for it.\n\nDo you not have the original disks from whatever computer company you bought it from? There should be a disk with everything that has Windows XP on it to reinstall.

Yes, save it somewhere else before you burn it. Then add it to the CD "compilation screen" in the CD burning software. Make sure you don't delete your downloads until after your CD has been burned/created.

Yes there is way. Use Nero it will allow you to make boot able CD.

yes it can be done, you would probably have to type in something along the lines of windows XP download and then need a cd code for it. but thats pirating and its illegal
