Burning Windows

[volskid2002]

i jsut downloaded windows corporate from kazaa and i want to burn it so that it is a boot-cd, so i can reformat my hard-drive. the file is a EXE file that i can extract with winrar and in that foler i have the setup and everything. how can i burn this in nero to make it bootable, so wen i change my BIOS to boot from cd-rom it will read the windows cd i make? do i need to make a cue for it, but its not a bin file? should i just use Nero's option for making boot-cds?

Do yourself a favor...... get it from Overnet. The kazaa files usually will contain files that will not copy when installing. My Overnet sourced file installs with zero errors..... ;)

k i tried to change the filename to .iso, didnt work. i treid to burn it so it would autorun, but it didnt work, kept saying dick read failure or something. so its still an .exe file, so should i just try burning it regular?

nope , just go download an iso version from somewhere , .exe versions usualy sux and arnt worth downloading

i had kinda the same problem with win longhorn.iso when i dl it off of bittorent. It wasnt a bootable cd so i had find a boot file and download it and use a prog but i cant remember what it is called right now and it installed the boot file into win longhorn and i burned it and it ran fine on startup :D

How does the file look is it like Xpcorp or Xpcorp.exe - if its like the first one you need to go to your folder options and show extentions so it looks like the second one,then change it to .iso.

If you already have show extentions on just unrar it to a folder then you will need to make it bootable to do this go here http://www.betaplace.co.uk/bootcd.asp then follow what it say's.I would also go to where "peat moss" said http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=67574 as KaZaa does tend to just give bad files so you can check it with CDmage.

Its a bit weird all this I think the problem is your extentions are not showing so you are then renaming to like Xpcorp.iso but its really Xpcorp.iso.exe maybe...

the file name is Windows_XP_Pro_Corporate_Final.exe, but it can be unrared. the size is 492 MB (516,200,448 bytes). ill try the site cwctv said and see wat i get.
