Just copy the contents of the CD to ur HDD and then simply use nLite to create a bootable XP CD. nLite has an option to create bootable CD...

You need not do any special steps to make a XP bootup cd. Just copy all the contents and burn the cd. Automatically it becomes a bootable cd.

I just did one yesterday (using "NERO 7").

If your xp disc is bootable and you need to make a copy of it please make an ISO and then burn, dont copy manually via ctrl+a. ISO will add the boot image too. If you do so manually you need to extract the bootimage from the disc first using a image extractor like BBIE - Bart's Boot Image Extractor and use that file into the option given in the 'Boot image' option when you open 'Create boot disc' in nero.

It is not possible, you have to specify boot image file also.
Easiest way is to use nLite, it is wizard driven, and in just few steps you have bootable iso ready. Burn it with Nero or any other burning tool which supports burning an image to disk.
