Create a new bootable CD for your Slipstreamed Windows XP using NeroROM

After you have slipstreamed the latest service pack 3 and all hotfixesin order to use this to perform a new install you will need to eitherburn a new CD or use the ISO mounted to perform it using a VirtualMachine for testing purposes.

The easiest way is to use Nero Burning ROM to create a Bootable CD you will need to follow these instructions

1. Obtain the Microsoft Corporation Bootable image file (IMG) extract and save it using ISOBuster from an ISO image of the original Windows CD
   
2. Open NeroROM and select CD-ROM Bootable option then select the image file you extracted in 1.
   
3. Make the window look like the screen dump below,ensure that you select No Emulation and change the Load Segment ofsectors to #07C0 and the No.of Loaded sectors to 4
4. Then select New
5. You will need to add all the files from the folder that you have just slipstreamed the SP3 + post hotfixes
6. I suggest that you save the project as GRTMHOEM_EN forWindows XP Home and GRTMPROF_EN for the Professional Version so thatyou can use it later for the same folder
   
7. Press Burn, I suggest low burn speed X4 when using the Nero ASPI or create an ISO using Nero and the burn it using Patin-Couffin Interface option on ImageBurn with my AWS that includes 80% of all readily available media.
