You can make an ISO of this using Disk Utility, but it may not be "bootable." *From Disk Utility, select "File > New > Disk Image from Folder". Choose the Windows XP folder and select an image type of "DVD/CD Master" with no compression. Let it create the image, and try it with VirtualPC. If it still refuses to boot, it's likely that your Windows XP "files" can't be burned back to a CD in a bootable state.

What happened to the original Windows XP installation CD that you got the files from? Just a heads-up: if you didn't obtain the files in a legal manner (ie, buying a licensed, legal version of Windows XP), then the help you receive on this topic may end here... there isn't any talk of illegal ways to install or obtain Mac OS X here, and I'm sure the same extends to Windows installations as well.

I apologize and I am ending this topic. Please to the mods, delete this thread.

Please be aware that ElDiablo is just adhering to what the board rules say about "warez".
