Are you saying that the master is a cdrom and the copy a compact flash?
The booting procedure for cdroms and for hard disks is not the same so
you cannot hope that something which is configured to boot from cdrom
will continue to boot when used as harddisk.
If you want more information on these questions, you can for example
browse the site
http://syslinux.zytor.com/
which has information (and programs) to boot from various media
(syslinux for disks and floppies, isolinux for cdroms, pxelinux
for network, etc.).
For the specific case of Windows XP you can make a bootable floppy
on a WindowsXP machine by running format a: and then copying
ntdetect.com and ntldr to the floppy, and adding a boot.ini file,
something like
[boot loader]
timeout=30
Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="WindowsXP" /fastdetect
You can then mix this procedure to the stuff on your cdrom and hope to
have a bootable compact flash.
