    DAEMON Tools doesn't do that.

    You could try Astroburn and then you also need a boot file.

      M$ use for Win 9x/NT/XP/2000 the same Bootfile. afaik Vista too.

      as Blazkowicz say you need astroburn or nero.

      i can only say how nero can do this.

      open nero > new comp (CD-ROM Boot) >
      start opt.:

      2nd option > image file > search > all files > boot.img

      expert settings

      emulation > no emulation

      sectors hex > 07C0

      load secotrs > 4


      now you can insert a *sif file in the 386 folder (when you'll make auto install disc), and when you like it you can fill the disc with some prgramms you need (f.e Daemon Tools )

      now burn this

      @Blazkowicz can i post the boot file here or is this illegal?

      @mailvijayk why is your XP not bootable!?!?!?

        Boot file should be OK.

          test it with a CDRW before you finally burn! i some cases won't boot the disc.

          install on a virtual machine.
