    What's in a bootable cd ?

    HI,

    What enables a cd to become bootable? Like causing the comp to do something before loading the default os. Any files you need to make cd bootable?

    thnx

    go under bios and set your boot device as cd-rom and voila!

    this will only work with newer computers...
