3 The Boot CD-ROM Wizard
3.1 Introduction
There are two delivery methods for ERD Commander 2005: as a Boot-CD
Creation Wizard and as a bootable CD-ROM on physical media. The Boot-
CD Creation Wizard is what is received when you download ERD
Commander 2005 after an online purchase; the version of ERD Commander
2005 that ships as physical media is a bootable image that also includes an
installer for the Boot-CD Creation Wizard.
The Boot-CD Creation Wizard is used to create a bootable CD ISO image,
which is a file that represents the raw contents of a CD, ready to be written to
recordable CD media. When the wizard has created your ISO image, if it
detects that a supported CD recordable drive exists on your system, it will
offer to burn the ISO image to blank CD recordable media. If your system
does not contain a drive supported by the wizard, you can burn the ISO
image onto CD recordable media with most popular CD-ROM burning
software (note that you cannot use the CD burning software built in with
Windows XP for this task). You will need several items in addition to
successfully create a bootable CD-ROM from the ISO image the Boot-CD
Creation Wizard creates:
• CD recordable drive
• CD recordable media (as supported by your recordable drive)
• CD burning software that supports your recordable drive and supports
burning an ISO image directly to CD
Note that you can utilize whatever recordable media type (CD-R/+R/-
RW/+RW, etc.) that your recordable drive supports, but you should test the
resulting media on all systems you intend to support with it, as some systems
are not cable of booting from all types of CD recordable media. Depending on
