Bootable Cd's

Ste- · 2004-02-25 23:04:43

How would I go about making one ? It's a windows cd that isn't bootable but I wish to make it so. I assume it can be done.

Depends on what version of Windows you have. Should be easy to find out how on google, eg if you use Windows XP, google for 'Windows xp bootable cd guide' and you should find something.

you kind of need an original windows cd (or at least a cloned one) to extract the boot sector from though....

skip down to the "create a bootable cd" part of the page below. you'll need isobuster & a newish version of nero...
