Before going to the First one read the article what is bootable for you knowing what is bootable cd and how that will help.

OK coming to the First one Making the CD as Bootable is very Easy. For that you need i)Bootable Floppy Disk ii)Empty CD iii)CD writer iv)Writer Software (Nero, Roxio, Easy CD creator)

Iam explaining the method using the Nero Burning Software. When you enter into the nero you have to click the new button there you will have (ICON) Bootable CD. Press this one you will be shown with some window there you will have the properties of the cd which you want to write. In that you will be asked for the Drive from which you want to make the cd as bootable. So place the Floppy Disk in the Floppy Disk drive and press the button of make bootable infront of that one. After that creation you willbe seen two files one is image and another one is bin file. so dont remove them. now place the files what you wish. that you can use the drive to its full capacity. That is according to the capacity 700MB or 650MB. Here one disadvantage is that you cannot make it as Multi session disk this will be explained below. After the Completion of Writing the CD. Restart the System and make sure to set the bootable from as CD-ROM. If that is booting from CD then you are succssfully written the Bootable Cd. If this fails dont bother you can still use the data placed on the CD (as DATA CD).
