just download any software to write to disc like NERO writer...SONIC....or any disc burn it... i use nero which has the option to burn a bootable cd.... so u just insert the xp cd.. copy it on hard drive... then insert a blank cd.... and burn it like bootable disc u have options in the software and you can download these cd burn software from internet.... i know bootable disc option is in nero and sonic....but this is not leagal it would be piracy or original software...however it depends on you....

His disk is bootable, and many make backup copies of their software as a measure of safety. Were is your disk or recovery software that came with your computer? Sounds like you need to do a clean install of Windows from a legal disk. Google for the info you want or buy the software. Make it a great day!

Simply copy the cd...thats all....ohhh i suggest using the minimun writting speed your drive has( 8x for example)...if you copy music its ok to writte at top speed but when you're copying data, it is recommended the slow speed, cause it can jump some files or something, it happened to me

If I were you I'd be more concerned with finding the cause of all those crashes. Then you wouldn't need a copy. Maybe you could post what you're doing when you have a crash and we could help solve the problem. :)

Make a .ISO image of it.
