Bootable Disk Question

Is it possible to make a bootable copy of my Windows XP disc at all? I know you can prolly do it with Nero or some sort of burning suite but I was wondering if I would run into any legal issues doing so. With me being a system builder it would be pretty nice to have multiple copies of an Operating System.

Thanks,

Zach C.

Yes it is, that's essentially what you do when you slipstream a service pack on to the install disk.

Yes it's a "grey" area. at best but if you keep it to yourself that's not a problem.
If you go commercial with it you're going to get to know a lot of lawyers who want to destroy your bank account.

As long as you have multiple Key Codes, you're good to go
