Creating Norton programs bootable

Comment:
I am trying to make my image of "Norton Utilities" and "Norton System Works" into a bootable installer. Someone already recommended the program "Bootcd." However, on that site http:// www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/7957 under "more information," it reads, "although Norton does not yet work from the CD." Which are the images Im trying to create a bootable cd with. Does anyone know if Bootcd still works with Norton Utilities and Norton System Works? Or recommend an alternative way? Is it possible for me to burn my OSx system folder from my harddrive to make the cd boot up? Thanks for your help in advance.

Do yourself a favor and trash Norton Utilities. It has screwed up many OS X systems. Definitely not recommended to use on any OS X System.

Then what other programs do you recommend that would fix major problems, defrag, speed up, etc.... as well as Norton?

MacOSX has very good utilities built in. They run regular maintenance routines between 3AM and 5AM if you leave your machine on all the time and set not to sleep. You can go to http://www.versiontracker.com and search for CRON. These programs, such as Cocktail will run these scripts when you want to.
In addition, you can run FSCK in Terminal to do repairs.
Next is TectTool Pro. Probably the best utility available for OS X.
