Just create the image and burn on a DVD. I have tried it and worked fine for me. I used Alcohol 120% to create the image and burn.

Who says??

I have been burning my XP SP2 CD image using Nero,IMGBurn to DVD-R, DVD+RW and all of them boot fine without any additional hiccups.

Must be your CD image which is faulty.

Try burning at the lowest speed.

I've used poweriso to burn cd images onto dvds. Works fine.

 

[d@rK nEmEsIs]

Try Burncdcc or iso burner

When you create an image of your WinXP CD, make sure it's a Bootable ISO image. I think, you can use MagicISO or UltraISO to take a bootable image of your WinXP CD.

OP download imgBurn, make an ISO on hdd, burn that on DVD using imgburn. No use using alcohol for simple task like this.
