Bootable DVD?

[Scott]

I tried to create one of these last night and it wont boot... I had the idea of copying my Windowx XP bootable CD, onto a DVD. Then add other files onto the DVD that i always use when i reformat my computer. Also i included software, drivers and programs.

I created an Index.html files, so when it was in Windows it would open that and id have a menu i could install the files from. That part of it works fine. But for some reason the DVD isnt bootable from dos, so i cant install a fresh copy of windows xp from it...

Any clues as to what i may have done? The CD is bootable fine, all i did was copy the whole CD to the DVD.

Not all DVD ROM drives support DVD booting, so keep that in mind. Mine doesnt
