Creating Bootable cd image

[Daniel Lees]

I need some help on how to burn a bootable cd image.

I down loaded the FreeBSD 4.4 iso install image and I
need some help on how make this bootable on a CD-R
with Windows 98/ME.

I purchased the 4.2 kit and tried comaring the
bootable cd that came with this kit and didn't see any
differences with the 4.4 version that I burned but
wouldn't boot.

In a addition, I also down loaded Nero to assist me
with this but I'm still not able to figure it out.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
in advance.

Daniel

An iso image is a special file which is understood by the cd-writing
software. An iso file itself is non-bootable .
I assume that you have some sort of CD burning software already installed on
your win$ows m/c. Search for a menu item 'Create CD from image' (in adaptec
cd creator it's in the file menu). From the CD image type select iso and
select the iso file you downloded. Then just burn it as you would normally
do. The software will 'explode' the iso image into respective directories and
files before writing it to your CD. Once writing finishes, you are left with
a bootable CD.
