:cool: Using Sonic Software as well as Easyboot.
CD RW disk formatted and 568 Meg Free on the CD.
winxp.iso is 772 Meg - hence I am miles adrift if I load that onto the CD.
Where do I get the "bootable image " to load on the CD? What files are in it?
Thanks.

1) Open the ISO image by UltraISO
   extract directory i386 to C:\EasyBoot\disk1
   extract win51 to C:\EasyBoot\disk1
   for Windows XP Home Edition, extract  win51ic to C:\EasyBoot\disk1
   for Windows XP Professional, extract  win51ip to C:\EasyBoot\disk1
2) use 'run w2ksect.bin' to load

:O Well almost!
2KB boot file on disk, the data loaded, disk burned in.
When the disk is inserted in Drive E: it does start up.
However.. You then have to look for the index file to start up the website on the disk. What I was after was :-
1) Push the disk in
2) It self starts by going to the index file.
Thanks again.

Please extract autorun.inf, readme.htm, setup.exe  from the ISO to C:\EasyBoot\disk1 , then it will support AUTORUN as well.

:) Thanks for that. Will do. I have noticed  ??? that the disk starts on the XP machine but not on an Me machine when I tried it out. Any thoughts?

Ah!
On inserting the CD (XP Machine) I find the boot file has gone! The data is there though.
Everything you mention is in C:\EasyBoot\disk1.
So :-
I need to install w2sect.bin on the CD?
