Microsoft Windows XP Setup boot disks are available only by download from Microsoft. The Setup boot disks are available so that you can run the Setup program on computers that cannot use a bootable CD-ROM.\n\nIf your computer does support booting from a CD-ROM, or if network-based installation is available, Microsoft recommends that you use those installations methods instead.\n\nFuture products will no longer support installation by using the Setup boot disks. Installation of future Microsoft operating systems will require the ability to start from the CD-ROM drive or by using PXE boot from the network. For more information about how to use PXE boot, visit the following Microsoft Web site:\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/ads/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/ADS/en

Yes.  Go here:http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/xpvirtualcd.html\n to download a prgram that allows you to create a virtual cd-rom drive on your computer.  Once you do that, you "mount" the cd image in that virtual cd-rom drive and it becomes live like a regular cd-rom.  I install things that way all the time.

Insert the WinXP CD in the CDROM drive (or DVD drive if no CDROM is\navailable). When your computer starts booting, press the DEL key and\nenter the CMOS Setup utility. In the "Advanced" section you should see\nthe boot sequence. Set the first boot device to CDROM and the second\nboot device to HDD0 (that's hard drive zero). Save setting and exit.\nWhen it says "Press any key to boot from CD..." hit enter. Windows will\nstart, load drivers and other necessary files into memory. Follow each\nscreen until you get to the partitioning screen. Choose to delete the\nprimary partition if there is only one. If there are more than one,\ndelete the secondary partition(s) first then the primary. Next create a\nnew partition. Windows setup will then format the drive and install the\nOS.\n\nIf you ignore the message Press any key to boot from CD..." the system\nwill boot from the hard drive after the above steps are completed. Later\ngo back to the CMOS Setup Utility and set the boot sequence back to\nnormal.

Maybe the CD is not a BOOTABLE CD. It has to be for it to work, but you can also use a start-up disk (Win98) if have any,.....or search and download it off the internet. during the booting, select start with CD-ROM support.

For an exact, BOOTABLE drive copy, use Nortons GHOST..it works excellent, and is easy to use! If you dont want it bootable, just drag your main files over to the new drive for free...

You need to make the CD a bootable disk. Make sure it is still set to boot the CD rom drive before it boots anything else. You might need to start in MS Prompt mode and just manually initialize setup.\n\nIm assuming youre trying to make a restore disk with your operating system?\n\nGo to this site:\nhttp://www.tech-forums.net/computer_articles/restore/restore-disk.php\n\nIt basically gives you step by step directions.

1)Use the Nero burning wizard to write a CD. Remember to insert a non Rewritable CD for creating a bootable disk..\n\n2)In the Nero click the burn an image options.. \n\n3)Wizard will ask you to locate the ISO file stored on ur   hard drive  \n\n4)Locate and just click burn.. on whichever drive u want to install.. which should be completely formatted (for good  results)\n\n5)Thats it...

I don't believe there's any way to make a windows cd, except for copying an existing windows cd, or, well... working for microsoft. However, what determines wether your copy is legit or not is not the CD, but the product key. Use any cd you would like, but use your own product key, and you'll be fine. If you don't know your key, this little program will easily find it for you and tell you: http://pcsupport.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=pcsupport&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.magicaljellybean.com%2Fkeyfinder.shtml

the cd u'r using was probably burned as a "no emulation" bootable CD. meaning it does not give the boot a virtual drive like A:. so u need to get a new installer, a normal one. Or try to just upgrade from a lower version windows so the CD doesnt have to boot from DOS...
