I am sure this must have been answered before but cant find it under the search.

I have downloaded WinXP SP2. I now want to create a bootable cd for this but i am not sure how to do it!!!

What program do i need?

Any help would be appreciated/

Is this the .bin/.cue version

Open Nero, then cancel the wizard
Recorder > Burn image
At the bottom select "all files"
Select your Windows XP .bin file
make sure the block size says 2048
Then hit "Burn"

There you have it, 1 Bootable windows xp + SP2 Disk :D

If its just WinXP Service Pack 2 you want.

You can download an SP2 .exe file from Microsoft for free right here...

Just burn it as a data disk.

@ peat: That's the impression I got...

Autostreamer (http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=188337) is the simplest way I've seen to merge service packs into an XP CD, with an option to make the CD bootable.

if it's just an iso then just burn the CD like normal with nero, assuming the ISO was made bootable you should be fine.
