this link should answer the first...haven't tried it myself but

I'm assuming you could make the iso under XP and burn it but the files
you need are on the linux partition and the instructions are for linux
so it might be easier to boot into linux...but what the heck, try it
under XP if you can



Good Luck with it...let us know how it works
