Since nobody has yet to spell it out step-by-step how to solve this issue, this is
exactly what I did, and the CD I created works perfectly.
To resolve this failure, perform the following steps:
1. Copy the entire contents of the Windows XP SPx CD to a folder on your hard drive.
2. Using a program like IsoBuster, extract the boot image from the XP cd. (or download
it here http://pchelplive.com/xp.img)
3. Open your CD burning software and create a new bootable CD. In this example I
am using Nero 6.x.
4. Under the Boot tab, select the boot image file (xp.img) and uncheck the “Enable
Expert Settings” option.
5. Under the ISO tab choose the settings as follows:
Data Mode: Mode 1
File System: ISO9660 only
File Name Length: Max of 11 = 8 + 3 chars (Level 1)
Character Set: DOS
Select “Allow path depth of more than 8 directories”
Select “Allow more than 255 characters in a path”
Select “Do not add the ‘;1’ ISO file version extension”
6. Under the Label tab ensure that the title of the CD matches exactly with the original
CD. (Example: WXPCCP_EN)
7. Leave all other settings at their default value and click New.
8. Drag-n-drop all of the files from the folder where you copied the xp cd to into
the project.
9. Burn away.
The critical setting is the Character Set. The default value for most CD burning
software is the ISO9660 character format. This is what causes the read errors.
The characters of ‘~’ and ‘-‘ have a different hex value in ISO9660 than DOS.
Thanks!!!
