Creating a Bootable Floppy Disk | Bootable CD/DVD Settings


Bootable CD/DVD

A bootable CD/DVD is one that can boot the system. You can create an El Torito standard bootable disc using B's Recorder GOLD5, which supports FDD emulation booting. A floppy disk image is created on the disc, making it possible to boot the system through emulation from BIOS. The disk image is automatically added when the disc is recorded. The procedure is similar to that of creating a Data CD/DVD.

Note
It is necessary to have a PC that supports booting from a CD or DVD to use a bootable CD/DVD.





Creating a Bootable Floppy Disk
First, prepare a bootable floppy disk. On Windows 2000, launch B's Recorder GOLD5 and select the [Options] tab in the Options window. Click [Create Bootable Disk] to create a bootable floppy disk for an ATAPI CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive. Click here for more details on creating a bootable floppy disk for SCSI and other drives.

Tip
Enable [Copy the restore program] when creating a bootable disk to create a disk that will automatically launch the restore program after the system has been booted from a CD/DVD.




















Bootable CD/DVD Settings
You need to add the data to be recorded into the Data Edit field before you complete the bootable CD/DVD settings.

1. Double click the data track in the Track Edit field. You can also select the data track, then click [Properties] on the tool bar.

2.. Select either [Create from standard bootable disk image] to use the bootable image in B's Recorder GOLD5, or [Create from bootable disk] to use the bootable floppy disk you created.
 


3.
Now record the disc as you would a data CD/DVD. If you selected [Create from bootable disk], a prompt will appear asking you to insert the bootable disk in the floppy disk drive.
