Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.
We will learn to create bootable Windows CD/DVD by using the software Bart PE Builder.
I have used microsoft XP as an example for this article.
- You must have a minimum of 500 MB space.
- Download the latest PE Builder version and do the installation.
- Start PE Builder.
-
Now PE Builder will ask to search for windows installation files. If you don't have your windows XP setup/installation files on your system , you can use original XP cd.
Some users may think that files at c:\windows or c:\winnt (windows 2000) are the installation files.But that is wrong. The part BE builder require the files from I386 folder.It searches for that. - Click "yes" to start searching.
- Click the "Burn to CD/DVD" option. ". Select your CD writer device .
- Hit the "build" button. PE Builder will now ask you to create a BartPE directory".So create a directory in which the partBE build will be stored.
- The license for your Microsoft Windows XP product is shown. Read it and agree to it to continue.
-
PE Builder will now start building.
Lot of files will get copied and decompressed, the ISO image will be built and the data will be recorded to your CD/DVD writer.
If the data verification was correct and there were no errors reported you can boot the CD/DVD!
