I recently purchased Nero Burning Rom 5.5 on ebay; I mainly want to use to create a bootable/slipstreamed Win XP SP2 recovery CD. Based on my research on this procedure, Nero Burning Rom is needed, not Nero Express. I also have Nero Express 6.6 installed. When Nero Express installed, it created a folder named Ahead under Program Files, and a folder name Nero under Ahead.

I realize I could uninstall Nero Express, install Nero Burning Rom, create the bootable CD, uninstall Nero Burning Rom, then reinstall Nero Express 6.6, but I think I'd rather just install Nero Burning Rom along with Nero Express 6.6 if that will cause no problems.

If I do this, I think I should specify a different folder in Program Files for the Nero Burning Rom installation. Perhaps the path could be C:\Program Files\NeroBurn\Nero\... instead of the default, which I'm assuming would be the same as for Nero Express.

Does this make sense? Will it work without problems?

Uhm, Nero Express is just like a shortcut to using all the features of Nero Burning Rom. Try and check under your start menu, then programs and then look for Ahead or Nero. You should see Nero Burning Rom in there.

Nero is on the main Programs list, but Burning Rom is nowhere to be found. Hovering over Nero brings up sub-menus titled:

Nero Digital
Nero Media Player
Nero OEM (under which Nero Express appears)
Nero PhotoShow Express
Nero Toolkit
User's Guide
Nero StartSmart
