How can I install windows xp sp2 from an iso file?

Burn the iso using nero or any other burning sw.
Boot from the cd,
install windows

If you are as lazy as myself, extract the iso to folder (power archiver does this as do many other archiving tools).
install from the folder (use setup.exe, Duh!!!)

if you have daemon tools installed.just mount the image.

thanks bro.

If the ISO contains a bootable image, then when you extract to a folder, the boot image is lost and you cannot create a bootable disk by burning the contents of the folder.

Use a DVD burner which supports ISO format like Nero, Cheeta DVD burner and use that DVD

It depends on what OS you are having right now.
1. If you have none, you can't install
2. If you have windows older than windows xp like 98,2000,me etc, mount the iso using daemon tools etc which have been suggested before, and install
3. If you have a later version of windows, like vista,7 etc, you can install, but the procedure is complicated, google for the procedure
4. If you have a non windows OS like Linux, you'll have to burn the iso and install.

Note: you can't install if you extract the contents of iso to a folder as suggested.

You can also install it from a USB stick if required, its simple just google it..
