Make .ISO Bootable?

[tommy2k6]

So, I have a Windows XP .iso file, I click write to disc to burn .iso file, but how can I make it burn to disc so its bootable?

Hi and welcome to the forum, tommy2k6!

 

Perhaps it's already bootable.

 

Load the .iso file in the Write mode and see what file system that is one the image/iso file.

 

If it's this - just burn it.

 

File System(s): ISO9660 (Bootable)

You can also check if a disc is bootable by using the Read mode

[tommy2k6]

ISO9660 means that the ISO is bootable then? How do I check in read mode?

No, the 'Bootable' bit in brackets means it's bootable.

 

You can't check it in read mode unless you've already burnt the image or mount it in a virtual drive.

 

So basically, just load the ISO in Write mode and see if it says 'Bootable' in the 'File System(s)' bit.

If this can help a little bit

oh, but, hold on, if i mount the image, then i do what to see if its bootable?

You switch to read mode and look at that same 'File System(s)' bit of info.
