I'm not sure if this is where i'm supposed to post this?

What i'm trying to accomplish is the following

I want to boot on a dvd and it will come up with a menu asking what i want to install

e.g. xp sp2, office, worpad. etc


K I used Autorun Design to create an autorun cd with menus

Now i need to make it bootable.

I tried using nero and pointing it to boot.img and it did mot work

This is how my dvd is setup right now

boot directory contains the following files

autorun.exe, autorun.ico, autorun.inf <--- files creeated by autorun design

then i have the following directory

AutorunScr <---this is where all the menu, picture are stored from the autorun design prg
Office 2007 <-- contains all office 2007 setup files
Win XP <--- contains all of win xp

once i burn the following disk i get the following error missing NTLDR

but if i move all of the directory win xp into the root directory I can
boot the cd, but i go right to the installation of win xp.

What i want is to see first is my autorun menus.

Thanks
Navop

You seem to be confusing "Autorun" with "BootCD", they are VERY different things.

You simply CANNOT boot a XP from DVD, though you may be able to boot a PE (WinPE, BartPE, UBCD4WIN, etc,) or Windows XP SETUP (install) from a DVD.

But this won't help you much anyway, since you cannot install a program, say Office, to a non-booted OS on the hard disk.

Maybe what you need is a CD multibootloader with two choices unsure.gif:
1) Load XP SETUP
2) Load XP from hard disk and then access your autorun menu
