Hey I don't have the iso file of windows 8 & i have only the setup file. Because I am using Windows XP SP2 I am unable to run the setup. Can anyone can please help me to make a bootable Windows 8 disc with the help of my setup files. Please upload any files if I needed to make the disc. Also my internet connection is slow, so I cannot download huge data.
Thanks in advance.

If you are burning it to a DVD, you can't simply copy the files from a Windows 8 install disk and burn them on to another disk. It doesn't work that way. Bootable DVD's need to be set up a certain way in order to work properly. Programs like UltraISO can extract the boot file from a bootable DVD image so that you can import it into another ISO image file later. If you don't do this and then save the disk before burning it, it will never boot and you will have made yourself another coaster.
