Bev Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I rolled over my XP disc with the service packs with my chair so I've been left with my old XP. It's been okay but now I got a new hard drive that is SATA and it won't recognize the hard drive. So, I got my backup external hard drive out and found that I had backed up all my software onto it. However, I didn't use the back up feature and just copied the files over so when I created a CD from that file, the motherboard won't recognize it as a bootable disc. Does anyone know how I can tell ImgBurn to burn those files as a bootable disc? I apologize if this has already been asked...I couldn't find it on the previous posts.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 The guides section tells you how to burn an XP installation cd. You'll need to google for the XP boot image though, you can't make it bootable without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already looked in the guide section. But, now that I know it's really there, I'll probably be able to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
