Check your burner software for instructions on how to do it.

To create a Bootable CD, perform the following steps: Open the Easy CD Creator program. From the Start menu, point to Programs, Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4, Features, and then click Easy CD Creator. Insert a blank CD into your CD-R or CD-RW drive (the destination drive). From the File menu, point to New CD Layout, and then click Bootable CD. In the Prepare Bootable Files dialog box, insert the bootable disk in the floppy disk drive, and then click OK. The contents of the floppy disk are copied and stored in the CD Layout area. Two special, read-only, files are added to the root directory of the CD Layout: BOOTCAT.BIN and BOOTIMG.BIN. From the File menu, click Create CD. In the CD Creation Setup dialog box, click OK. After the creation process is complete, click OK.
