I THINK THIS SHOULD WORK.First make image file of the XP bootable cd that you have(use magicISO,nero et al) then I think you can burn that image file to a DVD.I used Roxio suite to do that I dunno about others.The main advantages using DVD instead of CD is faster installations.

But if you want to add softwares and drivers to your bootable DVD than you can use nLite.

He only want to add softwares (setups). and don't want to INSTALL them automatically.

So, above method should work !!
