What was the filetype of the file to be burned and what did you use to burn it.
MD5 is the integrity of the file, sfv is the integrity of the multiple parts of the rar package .

Very much doubting the capabilities of booting from a virtual drive unless you manage to load it into DOS.

could some 1 give me a tutorial on doing this, it seems noobie but i never used iso's be4 just on games and stuff like using daemon tools for virtual drives, i tried burnign the iso itself on cd n that didnt work, i used windows burner thing where u right click send to and then click cd drive e and it didnt work. 
any help please m8s
any help please m8sif you are putting it onto a cd/dvd drive that you've never used before, and is the first time isntallation of windows on that pc check the IDE cable on the cd drive thats what i did wrong, first check you burnt the cd correctly, secondly check the jumpers on the cd drive are set to master if you are just running one dvd drive and a HDD and then check the ide cables are plugged in correctly thats why mine wouldnt boot coz silly me hadnt plugged in the IDE cable properly =p just suggestion
but if you've used the drive fine before then im just silly :P
ALSO try downloading the windows tool that allows you to create 6 floppy disks that boot it up, change the boot order in the bios to boot from floppy first then dvd drive second, then put disk one , turn pc on hopefully it will go through each of the floppies then ask for the cd thats how i had to do mine

Kaori said:from his first post... he said he "extracted the iso"
and from his jpg attachments.. the "extracted xp folder"
clearly he's burning that XP directory and not the iso
He extracted 2x, the parent folder and then the xp folder, so he could of burned either

pfft, pirates! /me holds legit xp pro.
No-CDKey version of windows work by abusing the "Unattended Setup" feature of Win 2000 and above.
if you look at X:\i386\WINNT.SIF (where X is your cd drive) you will see the cd key listed there like this : (some other stuff may be there aswell)
[UserData]
ProductKey = "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX"
for more info on unattended setup check out http://unattended.msfn.org (N00bs should _not_ go here, this requires actual brains.)
