[access-uk] creating a bootable CD from an ISO fileThanks Daran, Chris and Anthony. I do have Nero, but the thing I can't quite get my head around is, what exactly makes a CD 'bootable' with the appropriate ISO file being burnt to it. So, if I want to start a copy of Windows for debugging purposes, or run another operating system from CD, then presumably, there have to be certain files in the root, or in a specially named folder that the computer sees when booting from CD. So, I'd like to know, on or off list, the procedure in Nero 6 or above to create such a CD. Hope I'm making myself sufficienlty clear, and thanks again for the help thus far.

I think the majority of people have one or more copies lying around. I have about 4 different versions myself and have just purchased Nero 8. With all these different versions available it's tricky to tell you exactly where to go, but usually there is a menu item called nero burning rom or nero express which allow you to burn all different data, media and backup / archived files to CD. Hopefully you have a copy knocking around somewhere.

Is it just a matter of copying over the ISO file to a CD from the context menu whilst on the file? Thanks. From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx
