Alrighty, new problem. I need to clean my system by doing a recovery with windows XP, and there's a problem. My CD is scratched beyond workability. It boots, and it starts to install, however, over a hundred items "could not be installed" while I tried doing this. The files that need to be installed are on there as normal, but it was scratched enough that it couldn't recognize it. So, I took my copy, did a DVD Decryptor on it, and now I have a CD image of Windows XP on my PC.

Last thing I need is to make a bootable DVD for this, and here's my question-

Nero and Roxio have both proven useless in making a bootable DVD, but I am curious how I am to create one with the program MagicISO. If you know that product, then cool, I could use the help. If you know a decent product for this, even better, but I just need to make a new copy of a windows XP boot DVD.

Which version of Nero are you using? I'm pretty sure you can 'burn bootable data disk' with Nero 6.

Nero 6...

And it stated in several tutorials that I cannot make a bootable DVD data disc. But nevermind this for now, brother is going to pick me up a copy of XP from his college (they get them for 10-15 bucks).

I just checked and 'data disk' apparently means CD. Out of curiosity, why are you burning a DVD when XP comes on a CD and you have a CD image?
