I had similar problems creating a boot disk till I noticed an error in my
settings for Nero BOOT tab. If using Nero, make sure that "no emulation" is
selected. Check those settings to make sure they match the instructions that
you referenced. Once I fixed that, boot disks work fine.

My problem, I think, is that I can't make a bootable CD that starts XP setup
from boot time. I have tried including the Microsoft corporation.img file
from the XP original cd as the image file (from the Paul Thurrott's Super
site (http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slipstream.asp) and
just get a Code 4 error(?) when using the cd to boot the laptop. I turned
the slipstream folder into an .iso file and burned it to a cd - No operating
system found.

I have been doing the "bootable" burn with Roxio Creator DE, which I am
thinking might be my problem. Nero has been suggested by the above mentioned
site, but I don't wish to buy it and Nero always seems to invade my
computers too deeply. Am I being too paranoid?
