I want to install Windows XP on my VirtualBox and have done that before without issues.
Problem is, my CD-ROM drive has started acting up an it can barely read any CDs I have. Installing from the original WinXp CD turned out to be impossible. I have copied the contents of it years ago and have them on my hard drive now. However, if I create an ISO out of those with Brasero or Acetone, VirtualBox complains that ISO is not bootable and does not install it.
Is there any way I could make the said ISO image into a bootable one?
I tried ISO master but it seems it needs to access the original CD for that.
Also, what would be a good way to make another backup copy from my WinXP disk, this time into a properly bootable ISO?
The CD I have is legal, I have the product key as well. Just need to get it into my virtual machine somehow.
Any solutions to this would be helpful.
