Topic: Bootable from copied files?

Okay, I'm new to this so please take it slow. I have UltraIso Premium 9.0.0.2336 and Softdisc 3.0.2.320. Also Nero 8.3, and i am trying to make the programs that i have collected over the years into CD's. I have always had a habit of copying the contents of each cd into a its own folder on my drive incase i lost the disc. Now, i want to make a bootable iso. Let's use my example of Xp64. Lost my cd, but have it all copied into a folder named "Xp64". i can't seem to find a way to do this, or am i reading to much into it. Please give me some direction.

1) Extract xp64.bif from the attached ZIP
2) Start UltraISO, choose 'File'->'New'->'Bootable CD/DVD image' from main menu, and select xp64.bif as boot image file
3) Add all files and folders in "Xp64" to the image area
4) Save to an ISO or burn on-the-fly

PS: It is recommanded to use 'Tools'->'Make CD/DVD image' to get an ISO from your CD/DVD disc, then you can burn it directly or emulate with SoftDisc.

I knew i was over thinking it, but can you create that .bif without the cd or dvd? i guess it really doesnt matter, cause i only have 3 cd's to make bootable and xp64 was the only one that i couldn't find the disc for. Thanks again.

It was extracted from my XP64 setup CD.
