Alright,

I have a xbox 360 and I want to run Media Center Edition on my computer. I've gotten an Media Center Edition XP to MCE rollup Iso from another source and I created a bootable cd with that image file. Now when I go to boot my computer with it, it says "missing Operating System" anyone know what this is? I can't figure it out.

I also got an XP Ultimate Iso. I tried that and it says the same thing. "Missing Operating System".

I've tried converting the Iso to a Bin file and everything. I can't get this thing to work. I've gone into my BIOS system and I changed the boot order to boot from the CD-Rom first and all of that but I've hit a snag.

I tried using Daemon Tools, and tried running it from the virtual drive but I get halfway and it says that I'm missing "arp15a5d.sys" I don't know what this system file is but I'm missing it.

At this moment I'm running Windows XP Professional 2002 service pack 3.

Any one have any ideas? Anything will help. If I'm fighting to a losing cause please let me know. lol
 
im not sure if what you are talking about is legal. on the other hand im not sure of the question. I would guess and think you never extracted the iso or image file in the first place. ya have to extract it with something like iso buster or iso commander.

Windows XP was only released in three... distributions. Windows XP Home Edition, XP Professional and xp Media Center. What are you talking about (Windows XP Ultimate) was never released, so this means that you haven't purchased it. This means that it was created by a user by just adding some features and distributed it as XP Ultimate. You downloaded it from a torrent tracker, and that is illegal. Also, you risk being infected by malware.

Are you sure it's XP Ultimate? Isn't it Vista Ultimate?
Because if it is Vista Ultimate, i can't accuse you of using illegal products.

But let's say that it is XP Professional. You have to burn the .iso image to a CD using PowerISO, MagicISO, Nero Burning ROM or any software that can burn .iso files. If you extract it, it won't work, so that is why it won't boot.
And of course, the .iso image must be bootable.
