If you have access to another pc, its a piece of ****. Get a bootable floppy, put it in the A:, then load up nero, go to creat bootable CD, it will automatically copy the boot sequence and data from the floppy to the CD, you can then add whatever you want to the CD as data.


If not do a google search for the same data files and download them.

Or there are sites that have XP recovery CD's for download, which have the entire windows XP system on a bootable CD.
