slipstreaming a bootable WinXP installation CD

I made a backup of my WinXP installation CD by simply copying the files off
into a folder and then onto a CD. This turned out to be the wrong way
because the process didn't put any boot files onto the CD.

I need desperately to reinstall or access the Recovery Console but
unfortunately I have misplaced the original installation CD so I cant boot
from CD.

Since I have got all the installations files on the CD I copied , is it
possible to slipstream the boot files and make a bootable CD? How do I go
about it? Which boot files are needed?

Google for AutoStreamer - it will do the slipstreaming and make the ISO so
you can then burn a bootable CD. (Latest AutoStreamer is 1.0.3.3)

Google for cdimage.exe, that might bring some joy. AutoStreamer might well
do what you need without that; I believe nLite will. No need to slipstream
any SPs if you don't want to.
