How to boot copy of XP Installation CD

  • 38

I had one original CD of Win XP 2, which now damaged and shows error while used to install.
But I have one copy of the CD in my Hard disk. Now I want to make a bootable CD same as the original, I don’t know the procedure how to make.
I did some procedure by which the CD got un-usable.
Please let me know step by step procedure.

Thanks a lot

    1. Your “copy” of Windows Setup disc must actually be an “image” thus allowing it to be bootable
      Image files are normally ISO or BIN or NRG formats (there are others too, but those are the most common)

      You write your image by using an image writer software such as ImgBurn (which happens to be free) http://www.imgburn.com/

      But, in saying the above. You are actually best just replacing the disc
      Both computer OEM manufacturers or Microsoft themselves can replace a faulty Setup CD (depending upon if you have OEM or a standard MS Windows disc
