Not a bootable DVD
July 31st, 2016
I burned it to a DVD.
I can’t install it because it is not a bootable DVD,
I am trying to install it on my HP mini notebook.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you burned the iso as image..Then it should be bootable..
I also recommend not installing XP. It only has about 6 months left.
I downloaded an XP performance edition ISO,
I burned it to a DVD.

What program did you try to burn it with?
Also I suggest getting an usb drive and burn it to the drive instead. Easy and fast. Reusable to.
Have you set notebook to use DVD/CD as first boot device?
What’s on your DVD ?, there should be a number of files and folders.
Got a blank CD, you can use that to put XP on.
If you want to try using USB then Google it or try this..

Images must be burned as such and not as plain data!
Make you sure you do it correctly. Best way to go is using imgburn (With the “write image file to disc” option)
^what he said.
maybe you’ll be better off with Linux because as said, Xp is nearly dead.
I also recommend not installing XP. It only has about 6 months left.
What does it mean?
He means it would self-destruct, Leaving your computer completely useless!!
On a more serious note, He’s referring to the fact that M$ is gonna drop XP support on April 8th,2014:

In simple terms, It means they’re gonna stop releasing updates for it.
But if you ask me, This is not a good enough reason to stop using XP.

What does it mean?
I think that he’s talking about microsoft support for XP, but I’m not sure at all since who does care about that.

Also, what said.
Also, in imgburn, after you select the image file It will say is it bootable or not.

Your right, nobody needs security updates.
Lets just use an OS with as many exploits as possible so anyone with half a brain can gain access to our personal data.

You are blowing things out of proportions!
You’re making it sound like Windows updates provide 100% spyware/hacking protection, Which is clearly not the case (Not even close in fact!) For the most part, Computer’s don’t get hacked due to OS vulnerabilities, But due to user’s stupidity or misfortune. It can be a drive-by browser/java/flash exploit when you access a malicious website, A file you download or receive by e-mail (if you don’t use common sense) or an internal threat (A person living with you), The first two are much more common of course, Unless you have a really jealous girlfriend! Then there’s your employer which is another story (They’re legally allowed to spy on your work computer, So you shouldn’t use it for any “sensitive” activities) I’d say that overall, A person who has common sense, And also uses a good AV/FW and avoids Internet Explorer, Should be fairly safe from spyware infections (Windows Updates regardless) but one shouldn’t ignore new Java/Flash player updates when being notified IMO. And if I remember correctly, Both Firefox & Chrome update themselves automatically when a new version is released, So it’s all good there.
