but the opions differ.

i should have said what i have tried:
so far i tried this option from Slobodan Brcin (eMVP)

1. Open NERO.
2. Select DVD.
3. Data->Make Bootable Disk
4. Check Image file and browse path to Post FBA El-torito ISO file
created by hd2iso.
5. Leave expert setting disabled.
6. Press New.
7. Now you should be able to browse and add any non XPe files that you
want. And on lower usage bar you should see some space
already used by ISO file.
8. When you are done with adding files burn this image.

i followed the above step and this produced a dvd that
did give prompt "Do you want to boot from cd"
once i clicked over i got
1. HD System Type(-0F)
Invalid system disk replace the disk, and press any key...

funny what it looks like is that you are using post-fba.iso
as the bootable image. how does that work out?
just thought i would amend my remarks.
