Hi everybody

I want to know, how to make a CD to be bootable and also to add
a simple autorun file.


Best Regards,

u can add a autorun in a easy way
just add a notepad and save as "Autorun.inf"
open it and add the following

[autorun]
open=autorun.exe
icon=autorun.exe

open ----> is the path where ur exe is, if it is at the same location where the inf file( in the root ) then simply specify name of the file, else provide the path.
icon ----> to specify the icon u want to display.

for boot
u can find some third party utility tools in the net.
the best way is to go to google and search " creating bootable cd"

and you may need auto run Menu for several setups. then you use AutoPlayMenu Studio, Maestro CD Auto Run Menu. But "bootable" cd image soo small. about 2 Meg
 

The basic bootable image on a bootable CD is of a 1.4M floppy disk -o), so yes it is limited.

If you go to http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/, Bart's approach copies the 'floppy' image to Ram disk then loads drivers and allows access to the rest of the CD. This works just fine, I've used it to create a bootable CD for my laptop which doesn't have a floppy drive and can't boot from a USB memory stick.

Also, Nero can create bootable CDs, but I've never tried this so don't know if it works.

In Nero you can make a bootable CD, the only thing you need it's a bootable floppy, you select bootable CD from the menu and i'll ask you for the floppy.

If you like the cd open a program when boots you can edit with notepad the autoexec.bat from the floppy and add you program path at the end of the file.

It is very easy,nero can realize it,you also can ref a bootable CD to analyze it autorun file.
 

Hi

Thank you everybody, it works

Just another question:

When I boot from a CD that is for a specific corporation, there is a menu that you can select boot from harddisk or boot from CD-ROM. Above this menu there is the name of the corporation.
Now, how can I change the name?
