Sounds stupid, but hey, whaddya want from a newbie?

Is there anything different I have to do if I make myself a Windows unattended DVD instead of CD, or do I just burn the DVD same as I would do for a CD (that is, just burn the .iso file)?

Or is there any info/guide/specific thread I need to follow?

thanx a bunch

I was under the impression that the "XPboot.bin" file was made only for CDs?

I'll try it tonight, see how it works for me... I need a lot of space now, because apparently, because of BTS Driver packs, I now have a double-filled XP (over 830MB!!)

So, instead of complaining, I'm gonna try to put it into a DVD, and maybe even install Anti-Virus and Ad removers in the process. I'll post back when I've completed my DVD to let everyone know it works or not, because there just aren't any threads on this forums that elaborate on that.

Once your image goes over 700MB, you're gonna need a DVD... no change to the way you make the CD, i.e. you can still use CDIMAGE if that's your program of choice.

Get a DVD+-RW, burn the image u created, then u will know whether it works or not, it was actually same as building a cd.

Small tips: With Nero 6.6 there is an option for "SHORT LEADOUT" which is giving an extra 12Mo of space. I am currently burning 714Mo on Maxell CD-R 700Mo.

Also there is some 850Mo CD Media Available. For example, I have some BIT VIDEO VCD-R 99min. 850Mo. I had a chance to test once with these and it seems to be working perfectly... but I'll have to do more test before I give a solid recommendation.

Well I just bought myself a DVD burner, so I'm heading out to the store to get myself some -R and -RW media... should be and interesting (albeit bumpy) road. I'll let you know if I had anything to change in the makeup of the bootable DVD (i.e., XPboot.bim and other stuff)
