I read the help file in nero about creation of the bootable CD Rom but could not clearly understand it.Would like to get some first hand advice.Is it possible to make a bootable winxp CDROM ,using winxp boot floppy and win xp non bootable cdrom , through NERO?If yes then what is the simplified procedure?

Any answers,professors?

hey doh, you have been a great help. Still thanks anyway.
I did a lot of googling before posting it here.Everywhere I got the printed, published versions which are for the certified geeks. What I was expecting here , was to get in simple language, the steps required to be performed and the answer to my question, from somebody who 'has been there and done it'.

Please... the first result would have been the site (http://www.bink.nu/bootcd/) w/ lots of pictures and simple, fool-proof instructions. All you had to do was just scroll down the page to find the instructions (w/ pictures) on using Nero. It can't be any easier than the instructions at that site. It's as easy as learning how to play a VCR.

I was prolly not hitting the right key words with google.Whatever the reason i was getting a lot of 'el torito' something which I could not fully understand and the nero help was really no help at all.
thanks again.

Try this.

Copy your non bootable Winxp cd onto your hdd.
Insert your WinXp Bootable floppy

1: Open Nero express (change to Nero express i should say..lol)
2: Data / Bootable data disk
3: Click ADD button on right and add the Winxp cd files you copied to your hdd
4: Click NEXT
5: Be sure box says Read Boot disc in drive: A:\
6: Click NEXT
7: Besure all on this screen is correct...click BURN

As i cant be sure what you're Winxp bootable floppy is like, i'm not sure if it will "marry" to your unbootable winxp cd files or if you'll just end up with a winxp bootdisk that doesnt really autorun the WinXp setup on boot.


Anywhooo...thats the simple way to make a booable cd in Nero if ya have a bootable floppy already.
