then in the point 6 you will find information on how to meet the minimum requirement.

Option 1. Creating ISO image:

Before you will do anything you may want to change standard ‘ Label ‘ name. Under ‘ Mode

’ choose ’ Create Image ‘, and click the ‘ Make ISO ‘ button. After this action you will need

to choose where you want to save the ISO file and how it should be named.

At the bottom of the nLite window will show up information that the process has ended with

success.

When you will want to burn this ISO file, run again nLite and in ‘ Task Selection ‘ choose

only ‘ Bootable ISO ’ and click ‘ Next ‘. This time under ‘ Mode ’ select ’ Burn Image ‘ and

choose ‘ Burn ‘. Browse to the path where the ISO file is stored and double left-click it.

Option 2. Directly burning new XP CD/DVD:

Before you will do anything you may want to change standard ‘ Label ‘ name. Under ‘ Mode

’ choose ‘ Direct Burn ‘ and click the ‘ Burn ‘ button.

Choose ‘ Yes ‘ to burn it to CD-R. Wait patiently until the process is complete.
