yes. I've created the unattended installation file for WinXP (winnt.sif) and wish to insert it into the i386 folder so that I can burn a bootable CD for future use. I need to create an ISO image of my XP os cd on HDD, then copy the unattended file to the ISO image and then burn a bootable CD. Of course, I can use Nero to create a bootable CD but if I can create an ISO image and burn it, don't you think it will be more "ORIGINAL" ?

Cheers

Not exactly, I want to create an "unattended install" XP OS CD, where I can store the CD KEY, into the OS setup CD. I may slipstream the SP2 in this Project.

261076 2004-08-13 06:04:00 Pretty sure WinRAR can edit/add/replace files in an ISO image (That's assuming you have that).

Maybe get ISObuster (freeware) to extract the contents of the image out, make your modifications, then use the Nero for remaking the image file again.

261077 2004-08-13 11:10:00 Winrar can view and extract iso image files in fact will extract almost any compression format and is free to
download (trial) it never expires, but does have a pop up after 30 days.

Can it create ISO image from CD to HDD?

bk T,
You don't need an ISO to slipstream - works fine copying all the files straight, therefore using Nero would work fine (this is how I did it), although you would need to pull the boot image off the original XP cd using (I think) WinISO.

261080 2004-08-13 11:26:00 do u not own nero?

copy cd>use iso format.

Then use isobuster to add/extract files to the iso.

Job done.

Or do a search for "make a bootable cd"

That said, and considering you're not slipstreaming in this instance, you can do what you want with the slimstream basics - no ISO would be needed, all you're doing is adding a couple of files to the disk.

If copying the files off the CD works for slipstreaming, it'll work for what you want to do.

261082 2004-08-13 11:30:00 All you need to do is copy all the contents of the xp cd into a folder
insert any files you want were you want and create a bootable cd or
iso image with Nero, you will of course need the XP boot file, I think you can find it at bootdisk.com

Or you could just pull it out of the XP CD using WinISO (or perhaps Nero?)
