[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 383545, member: 24098"] It doesn't sound like the disc is bootable. Many programs that create images of discs fail to capture the boot files as they are not a normal part of the filesystem. Also, I don't know for sure, but I believe it has to be a true CD, not a DVD since XP never did ship on a DVD (that I'm aware of). Check [URL="http://www.theeldergeek.com/slipstreamed_xpsp2_cd.htm"]these instructions[/URL] for creating a bootable Windows XP CD (with SP2 slipstreamed). [/QUOTE]
