Bootable CD can be configured with a boot record descriptor and operating system files (boot file), so the PC can boot from it. No need of operating systems installed previously.\n\nWith the help of Bootable CD u can install the OS what u wanna install like windowsXP.

If you are talking about a Windows 98 Installation disk, it is bootable, stick it in your CD drive, and if you have boot from CD enabled in your BIOS. It should boot to a prompt that will give you 3 options. 1.Boot from Hard Disk 2.Boot from CD 3. Command line...or something like that.

Windows XP users:\n\n1. Insert the Windows XP bootable CD into the computer.\n2. When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press any key.\n3. Once in the Windows XP setup menu press the "R" key to repair Windows.\n4. Log into your Windows installation by pressing the "1" key and pressing enter.\n5. You will then be prompted for your administrator password, enter that password.\n6. Copy the below two files to the root directory of the primary hard disk. In the below example we are copying these files from the CD-ROM drive letter "E". This letter may be different on your computer.\n\n-----------------------------------\ncopy e:&#92;i386&#92;ntldr c:&#92;\ncopy e:&#92;i386&#92;ntdetect.com c:&#92;\n-----------------------------------\n\n7. Once both of these files have been successfully copied, remove the CD from the computer and reboot.

the cd has to have the boot files in the root folder, when you make it you have to make it a bootable cd, it will copy the boot files it needs from your system, make a boot partitoin, and creates boot.ini. and 2 other boot files with them

You can run a very stripped down version of windows xp from a cdrom or dvd.  You cannot run the full blown version.  I do not know what this is called, but have seen a cd like this at work.   \n\nThere are lots of bootdisks available from http://www.bootdisk.com \n\nAnother option: \nhttp://www.g4tv.com/screensavers/features/326/Bootable_Windows_CD.html

If the computer has a floppy drive, I would recommend creating a floppy bootdisk, and having generic cd-rom drivers load when it boots from the floppy, this will allow you to insert a CD and use it. If you're trying to boot from a Windows cd or the like, you should be able to insert the cd, and navigate the CD to find the "autorun" or "setup" file. Try the following website for your bootdisk, they make it quite easy, though it's not the easiest website to navigate: http://www.bootdisk.com/.\n\nI hope that helps, and good luck with your problem!
