Burning a bootable CD con't

Click the 'new' button to open the CD content window.

In the file browser to the right, navigate to your 'bootCD\working' directory. Select all of the files and folders in the far right pane and drag them into either of the blank panes on the left.

Now click the 'burn' button on the toolbar and check the 'write' and 'finalize CD' options before burning the CD. As we stated earlier in this PCstats Guide, it's best to use a CD-RW disk for your initial tests, as if there are any problems or errors, the toll of used CD-Rs can mount up fast.

Once you have v1 of your customized unattended installatin Windows XP CD burned, give it a test run.
