Default [Answered] Making a CD bootable

Hey there,

I wonder if there is a way to make a CD bootable. I have printer drivers which i just copied the contents of the CD in to a folder and would like to write it on to a CD and make it bootable.

Any help would be appreciated

Hello Predator,

What would be your purpose of making such a CD bootable? You won't be able to install your drivers without being in Windows.

Ok, so you don't want to make the disk bootable, you want to make it autoplay when you are in Windows?

If the original disk autoplays, and you want the exact contents of the original disk and you want it to autoplay like the original disk...why not use your burning software to make an exact copy of the original disk? If you do that, it will do exactly what the original disk does.
