Cannot boot from CD Code: 5 XP SP2 Slipstream
I am attempting to repair my install of XP (trying to avoid a complete
redo at this point). When I pop my XP disk in, it does not allow me to do anything since I have SP2 loaded. So, my next step was to slipstream SP2 onto my XP setup disk. I followed the directions in this article: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase...slipstream.asp I have now managed to create 3 disks that are readable, but not bootable. I pulled the img file directly from the XP disk. Thinking maybe the XP disk was corrupt, I tried booting that disk. It worked fine. Thinking I may have a bios issue on the PC, I tried all 3 disks in two other computers. Same code 5 error. BTW... I tried burning on two different PCs, with one using Roxio 5.2, and the other using the latest NERO... no difference. Any thoughts? If I can't get around it, what other options do I have? |

He can also download and use Autostreamer. Automates the entire process and
has worked flawlessly for me many times...:-) http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4444.html -- Cheers, Tinkerer "peterk" wrote in message ...

Yeah! This is the way to go since Autostream will automatically add the
"boot" image to the CD. I tried the steps to create the bootable CD but it is confusing! "Tinkerer" wrote in message ... He can also download and use Autostreamer.
