I have a Windows XP .daa image. Now how do I make this into a bootable CD?

Dan_Grr · 05-03-2007

Hey, 1st post, it's great to be able to ask questions in forums like this. Sorry for the long topic title, but thats basically it.

So I have a .daa (only executable through Power ISO, that I had to install on purpose for this) image of "Microsoft Windows XP Professional Corporate SP2 Integrated April 2007 - Etho Release" that I, ahem, found, and anyway I've burnt 4 CDs trying to make it a bootable CD so that I could format and then install XP on my hardrive (it's partitioned in 2, but Im going to format the 2 anyway).

And yes, I've defined the CD/DVD drive to be booting on top of the hardrive on the BIOS setup, so I think whats left is somehow burn this image into a CD and make it a bootable CD. I know I somehow managed to do this a couple of years ago but I can't remember how I did it. My brain is getting older apparently. Can you please help me?
