    Hi afterdawwn, i have just tried to make a copy of windows xp but i got a bunch of files such as OEM, I386, $OEM$, CMPNENTS, WIN51,WIN51IP, and some other files. I just wanted to know how to i turn these files into a bootable c.d.

    you need to copy your (or the) i386 folder in the c:\ directory or Windows to a cd. make sure it has winnt32.exe and regedit.exe. If you want to boot it from DOS you need a Win98 setup disc and you load it x:\i386\winnt (x=cd drive letter) and on windows you look for x:\i386\winnt32.exe
