I need to create a virtual CD Rom that can boot as well ...

I mean i wanna put Windows XP on that virtual CD Rom drive and reboot my PC to boot from that Virtual CD ROM and install windows ...

Is that possible by any means ... is there any software out there that can do that ...

Please HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!


There are 10 types of people in this world, one who understand binary and second who dont.

It can't be done. Bios will only recognize a real piece of hardware during boot sequence. and the virtual drive is software not hardware.
