Itoao Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) I have an XPsp3 folder that I want to make a bootable image out of and burn to DVD. I selected the folder which seems to have all the info that was on the disc. Its a complete copy. I selected make an image from files or folders. It made the image file. I then selected write image to disk and it informed me I was trying to make an operating system disc. This all seems fine. However when I insert the CD into the machine it tells me I need to insert bootable media. I hear the disc spin up but it wont load from CD. Any Ideas? I started to install Windows from a sp1 CD then they key i had didn't work. I decided to start over with this disk I am trying to make and save time. I turned the machine off and inserted the disc I have and it told me to insert bootable media. I even changed it in the BIOS to only boot from CD but it wont anymore. I just need to know if I am not making the Disc correctly or if it may be something else. Edited February 19, 2009 by Itoao
