Outstanding information that led absolutely nowhere. :)

Your subject is "build your XP install CD", and your instructions to do so
is "I made my xp install CD" without any information as to how you did so.

The OP just didn't make it a hyperlink - copy and paste and all will be
revealed....

Joe,

Is the web link broken for you?

Admittedly - the OPs presentation, grammar and just overall english skills
need work - but there are steps to make said installation media when the
link is followed from the original post. It is (the OP) hard to read,
perhaps a little difficult to comprehend - but the link is clearly there to
further instructions.

I followed said and although I cannot say the instructions there *work*
(haven't tried them) - they are some substantial steps listed there. Or did
you just read the first part and neglect to read the entire post, follow the
link with the step-by-step instructions, etc?

I have a Dell (OEM) with just a recovery disk, so thought I'd try this.
As per instructions, I went into regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Setup
SourcePath shows (Type) Reg_SZ but there is no path under (Data)
