WinXP Bootable Install CD

[Dr. DOS]

I have an install CD of Windows XP SP1. Now the CD was created off of the installation CD content that had been copied to a server.

So, as you can image the CD does not boot. I have to use the 6 floppy install media which then completes the install off the CD.

What can I do to make another copy bootable and then of course installable off the CD?
(This media is not bootlegged media)

Thanks for any ideas

Dr. DOS, try this site. I haven't been through it completely yet but it looks promising. Go to the Installation Section, Unintended Install.

Not sure if it will help but extracting the boot loader is discussed later in the article
