IT WORKS!! I just burned a bootable CD with NERO that
boots!
REGISTRY EDIT:
1) Run "regedit" and go to
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ahead\Nero - Burning
ROM\General"
2) In the right pane the top entry is "AddISOFileVersion"
3) Right Click on "AddISOFileVersion" and select "Modify"
4) The value will be "1", highlight the value and change to
"0" - that's zero.
5) Close regedit, reboot, and then follow the instructions
below.
boot.bin and xpboot.bin will both work as the image file.
I have also extracted an xpboot.img file (2k) from an 2600
ISO boot image using CDMage.
You can download xpboot.img at:
http://home.rochester.rr.com/hessfink/xpboot.img
TO CREATE AND BURN A BOOT CD IN NERO:
1) Close the "Wizard" and select "File" "New"
2) Scroll down the CD types and select "CD-ROM (Boot)"
3) A New right pane BOOT tab will appear. Select "image
File" as the "Source of Boot Image Data" and browse until
you point to the "xpboot.img" file you downloaded above, or
"xpboot.bin" or "boot.bin" if you already have those files.
4)"Enable Expert Settings" and select "NO EMULATION", Boot
Message is MICROSOFT CORPORATION, Load Segment remains
default of 07C0, and change Number of Loaded Sectors to 4.
5) Click on LABEL Tab, enter the Volume Label as WXPVOL_EN
for Corporate Build or whatever is correct. Enter
MICROSOFT_CORPORATION as the "Publisher" and "Data
Preparer".
6) Click BURN Tab and make sure "Write", "Finalize CD", and
Write Method of "Disc-At-Once" are checked.
7) Click ISO tab to check. The defaults on this tab are
correct - they are ISO level 1, Mode 1, ISO 9660, Joliet
8) Click "New" in the right corner to add your files. Add
files with Drag & Drop as normal. When you have finished
with your files, select the "Write CD" icon or "File, Write
CD"
9) The boot dialog box will pop-up again, and if you're
paranoid you can double check your settings. On the boot tab
your "Expert" settings are grayed out, but still there -
this is normal.
10) Select "Write" and burn your bootable CD.
Option: Once the CD is burned you can save your setup in
Nero. Then when you want to burn another XP Corporate Boot
Disk, just open the saved *.nrb and burn. The saved file is
just a list of files and settings.
Now you can create your Boot CD's with Nero without having
to use another program when you need to create a bootable CD
from files!!
Try it and please let us know that this worked for you.

allows Nero to make Bootable CD's!! |
