Is there a way by which i make a cd which will format, install XP (tut already present ... i know), office, and other imp softwares as wished by me and also patch em or fill in the serial frm a file

[Pathik]

i dont think so

[gxsaurav]

use nlite, u can do everything other then the format part, that has to be user based

Since you wnat to install office too, it won't be a CD, it will be a DVD

Make an answer file for xp installation using nLite where the serial needs to be entered so that it doesnt prompt for it during automated installation!

Automation, integrating updates, derivers, etc can be done using "nLite".
And regarding to the integrating softwares, like office, etc. U'll need a DVD and u can follow the "Unattended msfn" link given by rakesh.

Even Windows Unattended CD Creator can be used instead of Nlite though it has very less options and has easy to use interface
