Hello All, this is my second post.
Anyway, I have a downloaded copy of XP Professional, and I need to make it bootable, to get a dead computer running. The file I downloaded was a compressed copy of the CD, like if the host put the CD in the drive, selected everything on it, and went to Compress with [I think] winZIP. I unzipped the contents of the download, burned them to a CD, and deleted them. When I put the CD in the drive, it autoruns and loads up fine. When I put it in the dead computer, nothing happens. Normally, the recovery console would start up, and I could Re-format, re-cover, or anything else as I saw fit. Does anyone know how to make the CD do that?
