nLited XP installs for a cab
IG-88:
...browse to your .iso image and then hit "Burn disc"
Easy - peasy
ps. Burns CD or DVD's. I just use which ever medium I need the most space for, and/or the machine's particular hardware.

Tommyinajar - nope, not a Dell it is an old emachines - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883114027
IG-88 - thanks for the info, but I did a burn using CDBurnerXP with the same result - won't boot from CD/DVD.
Can someone confirm for me that indeed the iso is not supposed to have any files beyond those I listed below. I don't see how it could boot just based upon the files that are there.
tommyinajar:
Does it boot other bootable DVD's? Can you boot it on other machines?(Don't install it!) :laugh:
Anyways- Here is mine I just booted it on 2 machines, pressed "enter" to boot, seems to boot fine. I got it at TPB (Tinyxp rev10 boot 6 in 1 dvd) "Tinyxp-rev10.iso" is what it downloads the torrent as.
P.S. Tinyxp 11 is also out there...
And as always make sure you use the key from your original Version :angel:

Tommyinajar - I got mine same place and same torrent. And our directories and files look the same.
Interestingly I can boot using Hiren's Boot CD (I am running diagnostics and wiping the old HD to make sure that isn't the issue). I will try using a different brand of DVD (I tried to pick some up yesterday but they were out).
Again, the assistance is appreciated - this was supposed to be a quick reinstall and upgrade on my working cab, and it is really quite frustrating.

I'd still bet the DVD laser is bad in the drive. Try to boot a DVD or try a USB install. 100's of post on it. Here is one from cnet http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html. You have to change the bios. I do all my installs from USB now, quicker and no more scratched disk.
Also since you have Hirens cd there, try the plop boot from the Hirens cd drive and put the 10-in1- dvd in there. I think that was the only way I got old dells to boot some hacked windows install disk.
It's been a while but now that I think about it, they might not have wanted to boot DVD's, only cd's. The plop has CD/DVD boot without BIOS support (IDE)
