When making an image you state you need to load boot img from CD. can this image work for any iso? Or do I need to load one for each cd? Some of my cd's are non bootable ie data disks. can I make a boot file to run say autoexec.bat or inf or even setup programs.
Thanx,
Newbie!

There are only two kinds of boot image file: .BIF extracted from bootable CD, or .IMG stands for floppy image. ISO ot .BAT/.EXE is not supported directly.

Wouldn't it be the BEST if we could boot from ISO images without extracting the content first 
Imagine the following:
Disk
\WinXP\WinXp.iso
\Win2k\Win2k.iso
run \WinXP\WinXp.iso
No BIF! no .bin!
That would be the best.
I am not even sure that it is technically possible though! Because even if you load the ISO and make it boot, the applications running on a CD is not aware that it is running off an ISO, and if you have a "virtual CD driver", maybe the application will not see it, i mean you should have a layer between the ISO and the programs on that ISO to make it transparent for them that they are running off an ISO.
But when a CD image like WinXP will boot, it might destroy/unload the "layer" that is between it and the actual ISO image.
Tell me what do you think guys.
