    Yes, you can burn a bootable cd in most cd-burning apps, but you need a boot image first. Use i.e. IsoBuster (google it) to extract the boot image from your bootable XP cd, or any other bootable CD. Then burn it in i.e. Nero...
    It's a bit more complicated than that, since you need to fill inn some info on the boot.img file as well, but I'm sure you'll find some info in Nero, IsoBuster or go here:

    for an example (Don't know if hotlinks are legal here, so just cut and paste the above line, and change the "**" to tt :). )

    Cheers,
