If you own an "old" version of Windows XP, anterior to Service Pack 2, you know how fastidious it is to reinstall a new operating system and then have to apply the update. Fortunately, there is a free software called nLite which enables you to create a bootable Windows XP CD-Rom with SP2 included. A CD-Rom burning option is even available in this freeware but, in my case, the operation failed. I finally used an independent application to burn the ISO file provided by nLite and it worked perfectly.11/29/2006
