How To Create Bootable Xp Cd-rom

How To Create Bootable Xp Cd-rom

Bootable Windows XP CD-Rom


This will show you how to create a bootable Windows XP (final build 2600!) Home Edition or Professional CD-Rom.
Optionally you can add security hotfixes and other stuff to your CD. The boot catalog and NT bootstrap loader are
hidden, just like the original bootable Windows XP CD-Rom.

The steps to create are:

If you did not already setup cdrpack version 1.2 then download cdrpack v1.2 (~640KB).
This file contains a workspace where you can build your bootable CD's from.
Unpack the cdrpack12.zip file to a directory on your local harddisk.
Make sure you expand the subdirectories! So when using pkunzip.exe use the -d option!


Download Windows XP add-on. (included in rar)
Unpack the wxp_addon.zip file into the same directory as cdrpack 1.x.
Make sure you expand the subdirectories! So when using pkunzip.exe use the -d option!

The add-on contains, the Windows XP bootstrap loader (same as Windows 2000) and the "build.mak" file.


Copy from your Windows XP CD the "\i386" folder to cds\wxppro_us\disk1\.
You will find the cds\wxppro_us\disk1\ folder in the same directory as where you have unpacked the cdrpack and Windows XP addon.


Copy from Windows XP CD into cds\wxppro_us\disk1\ the following files:
Always copy: win51
If you are building a Windows XP Home edition CD copy: win51ic
If you are building a Windows XP Professional CD copy: win51ip


Optionally copy (from Windows XP CD) into cds\wxppro_us\disk1\ the following files:
AUTORUN.INF
README.HTM
SETUP.EXE


If you have copied Windows XP from MSDN CD...
Edit the file i386/txtsetup.sif
section [SetupData], and change SetupSourcePath = "\"


If you have copied Windows XP from MSDN CD you can disable the product key prompt:
Edit i386/setupp.ini file, remove the read-only attribute and open the file in notepad.

Change the last 3 digits of the Pid number to 270
Example:
[Pid]
ExtraData=123456789012345678901234567890
Pid=12345270


Copy the latest security patches to cds\wxppro_us\disk1\.


All other files and folders you want in the CD-Rom filesystem must also be added to cds\wxppro_us\disk1.
Things you could add are: latest internet explorer, directx, ...


Edit the file cds\wxppro_us\build.mak change the "volumeid" if you like and put your name into the "preparer" variable.


Let's check some files to see if they are in the right place.
Make sure that the following files exist:

cds\wxppro_us\disk1\w2ksect.dat
cds\wxppro_us\disk1\i386\bootfix.bin
cds\wxppro_us\disk1\i386\setupldr.bin
cds\wxppro_us\disk1\win51
If you are building a Windows XP Home edition CD: cds\wxppro_us\disk1\win51ic
If you are building a Windows XP Professional CD: cds\wxppro_us\disk1\win51ip


If one or more files are missing do not continue! Go back to correct it!


Start the batch file "run.bat".
From the "Main menu" select "Build & Burn" and "wxppro_us".
/* todo: add link on cdrpack usage */

To have more Windows XP versions available from cdrpack to build, you can just rename the "wxppro_us" folder to any other name you want, and go again from step 2.

Done!

have fun
