Creating bootable CDDVD

B

Bill Cunningham

I know there is software to do this but I have heard of another
technique. Copy ntldr and ntdetect.com onto a DVD to make it bootable. But
what do you do after that?

If you have chosen "append multisession" before,
you first have to select your burning device
and the session you want do continue
(Important note: you should always choose the last session!).


After you have
added all files
and/or the folders
and files you want,

click on "Burn Disc"
and then on "Burn".

DeepBurner Free 1.9 2.72 MB Download
DeepBurner Free 1.9 (Portable) 2.93 MB

This is what your system at least should have:
· CD-RW or DVD-RW drive
· Microsoft Windows 98 / Me / 2000 or XP

· at least 2 MB of free hard disk space for download
and additional 10 MB for the installation.

Further disk space for burning
Audio-CDs of mp3-files is recommended

I'm not quite sure I understand. You say "Choose the last session."

After you have
added all files
and/or the folders
and files you want,

What are the files and folders I want to create a bootable image? ntldr,
ntdetect.com. Anything else?

click on "Burn Disc"
and then on "Burn".

A CD/DVD won't magically be bootable simply by putting those two files.
You'll have to mark the ISO as bootable and use Windows NT's CD boot loader
image (similar like harddisk boot record's bootstrap code, but for for CD;
it doesn't have to be Microsoft's original boot image). It'll load NTLDR and
run it. So, start by using an ISO editor that has built in support for NTLDR
loader. Or Google for the CD boot image for NTLDR or Windows NT/2000/XP.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the bootable CD specs doesn't support
multisession.

You be right

If in was not
Setup to Create
A Multisession
Disk

But you can test
The Disk by

Append Session

Next

if you get Error
Not Enough space to
continue session

Ok

That when you know to
Make new CD/DVD

Old.Cd Drive total size 625 MB
You will on a New Cd only a 700 Mb

It time to Upgrade Old CD
To a New DVD

That one
Yes the New DVD/RW Disk
That be a 2 Gb

Make it a Multisession Disk
