Creating a Master DVD

[wannabedamned]

I'm wanting to create a DVD, With a bootable Windows XP Professional on there. I have a genuine copy of the program, and a license Key.

All I'm wanting to do though, Is instead of the CD version I have, I'd like to create a DVD version, And then put on their tools I always use. Like Photoshop CS3, Nero 7, Cubase SX, Office 2007, An upto date Host list for Adblock, Malware prevention software, And then an updated list of things like Forceware drivers and other system drivers.

All I'm here to ask is, Is it possible to create a DVD that will boot and install Windows Xp Professional from my original CD. And also, Is there a way of streaming the installation of things like Windows Updates/SP2 and to possibly even install the updated Host list I want included on the disk, And is there a way of updating the list of drivers the setup program looks through after initial setup has completed.

Any help would be great. Cheers

Install and setup XP just how you want it, then create an image of it using Acronis True Image.

nLite, you can add XP Service Packs, Updates and Drivers. I think there are other handy things that you can add in to.

If not, build and install you are happy with and just image the drive using Acronis or Norton Ghost.
