Tuesday, 01 January 2008
For the following tutorial you will need the following:

  • A copy of the original Windows XP CD or ISO
  • The latest version SP2
  • The boot file which you can download Here
  • Nero


Ok, first off start by Creating a folder called XP on your hard drive (I used C: drive in this guide). A minimum of 800MB is required. In XP folder, create three sub-folder called CD-ROOT, XP-BOOT, and XP-SP2. You should have something like this when your done.



Copy the entire Windows XP CD (or extract a image "ISO") into folder CD-ROOT.

Copy your Service Pack 2 (SP2) file into C:\XP

Rename the Service Pack file to XP-SP2.EXE

Extract the Service Pack from the Run Dialog using the command:

C:\XP\XP-SP2.EXE -U -X:C:\XP\XP-SP2




Apply the Service Pack 2 (SP2) to the Windows XP in CD-ROOT using the following command from the Run Dialog:

C:\XP\XP-SP2\i386\UPDATE\UPDATE.EXE -S:C:\XP\CD-ROOT









Start Nero.

Select File > New... from the menu.

 



Most of the time, the Nero Wizard will start, if this happens click the "Close Wizard" button.

 

1. Select CD-ROM (Boot)

3. Set Kind of emulation: to No Emulation
