I've burned bootable cd's from EZ CD Creator, you do it like this: Put in the cdrom to burn, when it pops up with it's wizard choose create data cd. Instead of dragging the files to the lower left area to create a cd, choose file -> Record CD from CD Image Change 'files of type' from .cif to .iso. Surf to where you have the iso file.. thats it :) . Good luck, JD > I thoroughly enjoyed Bob George's presentation last night.
