XP Bootable Disc

I need to backup my XP Disc but never done it before.How do i make it bootable? Do i just burn it as a ISO?

I reckon using the Read function of Imgburn creates an ISO file on your hard disk. You should then be able to Burn the ISO to a CD/DVD and it should be bootable.

Nice one.Creating the ISO now and intend to use Nero to burn it.
That should work?

Should do but I haven't used Nero in years. Could never get bootable settings right with Nero. Imgburn has never failed me on that front. Hint hint.

Thanks for the headsup.

If you've made an iso from the original disk, it doesn't matter what you burn it with - the resulting cd will be bootable.

Yep, but if you've got Nero couldn't you just do a straight copy?
