Start XP Iso Builder and make sure the language is set correctly. You may want to delete the folder $OEM$ in the temporary directory, it contains software that the manufacturers added to the recovery CD. Make sure you copy hidden and system files as well (check in folder options that they are shown when you browse directories). Copy the complete recovery CD to the temporary folder. Create a temp directory for the new CD on your hard drive, name it XP for instance. Download the tool XP Iso Builder and install it on your system. You only need one tool and the recovery CD of course.

What many users do not know is that they have options to turn a recovery CD into a bootable standalone CD that they can use to install the Windows XP operating system. The only option that you have in this case is to buy an extra copy of Windows and use it to install it on the new system. They may ship with a recovery CD that you can use to restore the operating system when it does not boot anymore, or with options to create such a disc when it does not ship with one.Įither way, this makes it impossible to install the operating system on a new system that you may buy or have. These systems may not ship with a full copy of the operating system. When you buy a pre-build computer system it usually ships with an operating system that is already installed on it.
