Hi, Just diverting the discussion a bit. Can someone tell me what difference it makes in burning an iso image and just merely copying files from a CD to another one? How does it affect the CD properties like whether it is bootable? - Nikhil. --- Kunal Gangakhedkar kgangakhedkar@hotpop.com wrote:

but the new cd is'nt bootable.... now how do i make those CDs bootable??
did you use drag-n-drop to add files/folders?? Did you use HP MyCD?? Did you use "Copy CD" option from HP MyCD??
HP MyCD is hopeless.... Try using Nero/Adaptec... Even then, there could be problems, unless you're trying to make an exact copy of the CD....
Otherwise follow a long procedure...
In Linux, you can create an ISO Image of a CD using dd as
$ dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path-to-iso-file/filename.iso
Then use this ISO image to burn a CD. This ISO image will have all the properties of the original CD including the volume ID (i.e volume label).
