How to create bootable CD/DVD/Blue-ray Discs…

Burning Studio trenner Expert Format Options

This is a special function that allows you to directly create a bootable CD/DVD/Blue-ray Disc from your image. Just enable this option, browse to find your image and choose the Boot-Image type. Please keep in mind that only boot images will work which contain already the files and the directory structure. Images from a boot CD or floppy disk will do best. Files which are added by Ashampoo Burning Studio 9 will not be factored in the booting process.

Note: NT/2000 oder XP boot images should be created using the “ISO 9660 Level 1″ (works best). The boot image type should be of the same size and image type like the original boot image.
