if you mean to make a bootable CD...we need to know a little more information. What exactly are you trying to do? Nero burns the data to disc and does not make bootable.

You can make bootable discs with Nero
Here's a link to the Nero support tutorial on how to do this with Nero 7. They also have tutorials for versions 8 and 6, but the process is probably very similar between them.

I should have said that Only the Paid For version of Nero has the capabilities to burn bootable CD's

Default Your Install Disk is a Bootable CD as are MS-diskettes


I'm old and cranky. And totally turned off by these so-called easy to use fire-balls called Bootable CD's. They are not bootable, they are a conglomeration of hair raizing mini-tools to get your computer to the point where you might be able to boot it...and they always come in some format such as ISO whereby you have to be a rocket scientist to build the dang thing.

For my money, it is a darn sight faster/easier to load a clean copy of Windows over the old one, without deleting the extra files when asked.

You should always have a complete copy of the system32 folder at the ready so that you can just copy the old system32 folder over to the cleaned up one.

Also have a disk handy with all of the "programs" you have running so that they can easily be accessed and reloaded should the latter statement not pull its weight.

For making the bootable CD, I tried Nero.

First i made the image file of the setup files, (whole 1.70 GB) and then I burnt it on a DVD.(One of my sister helped me out.)
Won't this work?

Go here and download the Nero 7.0 manual, the info you require is on PAGE 36.

Nero – Support - Nero 7 - Manuals

Or you can download the correct manual from this link...
