Few months ago, I made a copy of my Windows XP cd..Now, I cant use my back up cd because it has no bootup or startup something like that so MS-DOS prompt me of error boot drive, please insert another media then press ENTER (Im not sure about what it stated I forgot )..One of my friend told me that it was integrated in the XP cd that the boot files cant be copied to prevent piracy is that true? My original XP cd cant be used anymore also because of so many scratches in it..
Now I purchased a new HD and daydreaming of how shall I install my WinXP using the back up cd that I have...Is there something like a start up disk like that of Win98? Or any other way? Please help...TY
