Question about creating WinXP boot CD by Ahead Nero v.7

[Farahmand]

Hi dear all!

wish you lots of successes in your life.

I studied an article about creating Windows XP bootable Disk by Nero v. 7 and there was said that "Put the Number of loaded Sectors=4" as shown in the picture:

I wana know that why we must write the 4 number in the "Number of loaded Sectors" and why we can't write the 1, 2 or 6 numbers instead of 4 ?

I will be grateful If anyone explain this!

Thanks in Advance

It is 4 because the image size is greater than 2.88 MB

The number of loaded sectors specifies the number of 512-byte sectors to be loaded from the boot image.

1 specifies a 1.2 MB floppy disk image (512-byte boot image),
2 specifies a 1.44 MB floppy disk image (1024-byte boot image),
3 specifies a 2.88 MB floppy disk image (a 1536-byte boot image),
4 specifies a hard disk drive image (a 2048-byte boot image).

Thanks again.
