Making a Bootable CD

A bootable CD is a disc that contains a

bootable image

—an ISO 9660

file that is an exact representation of a floppy or hard drive from

which you can boot your system.

Easy CD Creator implements the El Torito standard which was

developed by Phoenix Technologies and IBM and specifies a boota-

ble CD-ROM format.

Bootable CDs are useful for making a backup copy of your custom-

ized system configuration and using that CD to re-create your sys-

tem if necessary.
