Unpacking iso win2000 to make bootable cd.

Hi All, rather new to all this, but I have downloaded the iso file for Windows 2000 and downloaded various burners but unsure of which files I need to put into the new iso file to burn to Cd and ake it bootable. Also unsure if I will need to create 4 discs or if possible to amalgamate them into one...sorry if this sounds a bit vague, but I am exhausted from trying to create a disc (48hrs of trying haha). Be grateful for any advice at all.

You should not need to do anything special to make Windows 2000 bootable. Just burn the ISO to a CD with your preferred CD burner.

I used to recommend ImgBurn... are they still bundling malware?

If you're on Windows 7 or higher or any version of (Mac) OS X, then you can use the "burn disc image" option directly built into Windows, or use Disk Utility (10.10.5 and earlier) or right-click the image file (10.11 or higher) if you're on Mac. I'm sure it's not that difficult on Linux as well. No need to download any software.

PowerISO and Alcohol 120% should do the trick.

So what you want to do really is download wincdemu.

It's a great program and I use as a virtual drive for quick mounting. It also makes ISOs.
