Description:
There are actually quite a few ways to go about doing this, but we're just going to touch upon probably the quickest and easiest way to do it.
Tutorial Instructions
Prerequisites
There are some prerequisites you will need to have handy:

Windows installation medium copied to your HD.
A CD/DVD burner.
A couple gigs of space free on your HD.
A blank cd/dvd or 2.

Creating the Bood CD
Doing this is quite simple if you follow these simple instructions

Step 1)
First things first. Download this handy dandy little utility called CDImage. It's a GUI based version of Microsoft's application of the same name. A couple of pro's about this version: It comes with the boot.img file. It comes preconfigured with the most common options already selected.

Step 2)
Extract the contents of the CDImage.zip file you downloaded to a directory on your HD

Step3)
Run the utility. You should see a window like the one below:





The "Root Dir of your CD" can either be your windows installation CD or a directory on your HD where you copied the medium to.

*note* Using a windows CD will make this process considerably longer.

Step 4)
Configuration. There is only two things we have to change. All the other options are already set. Click on the configuration button. Select the "Boot" tab. Leave the box checked but make sure that the path of the boot.img file points to the path of where you extracted it from the CDImage.zip you downloaded.

*note* This boot.img file is good for windows 2000, XP, and 2003. This boot image WILL NOT work for x64 versions.

See Image below:




The last setting to be messed with is the Volume label. This can be done from the 'Creation' tab. It is recomended to stay with the default label.



Step 5)
The final step with this program is to actually create the image. Click on the creation button, give a glance over what is going to be done and then click the "Start Image Creation" button. This will create an .ISO file in the folder you specified earlier.



Step 6)
Now just burn the image created with your favorite CD/DVD burning program, like Nero.

Warping Up
This tutorial went over how to create a Windows 2000, XP, or Windows Server 2003 Boot CD. This tutorial doesn't apply to creating a Windows Vista boot dvd.
