How to burn a bootable CD using Adaptec CD Creator

What you will need:

A copy of CD Creator
A bootable floppy
A blank CD

First, open up CD Creator.

Click of "File", then "CD Layout Properties"





Select ISO9660 format, and select "Bootable"





Insert your bootable floppy in your "A" drive and click on "OK".

After a couple of minutes, you will see the following layout screen





Note the BOOTCAT.BIN and BOOTCAT.IMG files. Those are the magic entries in making this CD bootable. Now, you can drag and drop the other files out want on the CD into the layout window. Below, I have made a file list that will give me basically a DOS system with all the little utilities that come with it.





Now, click on the red "Burn" button on the toolbar.





You will now get the standard burn dialog that you are used to. You proceed from here as would any other CD that you would normally burn. When it's done you should have a bootable CD. Enjoy!!
