Hi Jamey,
You can try to use linux utilities to do the job. There are a bunch of
utilities, which together can generate the .iso image you need to burn with
EasyCD creator.
In my opinion, EasyCD is a very good program. I haven’t found such a program
which can merge images on CD rewrite as easy as EasyCD can do. Of course,
more complex features like this it will not do (remember Adaptec ships its
solutions to end users. as me, you cannot be considered an end-user 
at
most a very-heavy-end-user :))
Returning from philosophy… you’ll need:
dd - to get your disk image to a file (if you have it as a file, ignore this
step)
mkisofs - generate an iso image from a tree-point subdirectory.
cd-burning-tools - you’ll not need this. just use EasyCD with image
generated above.
Tip: You’ll need to specify ElToritto image file (your boot image) to make a
bootable ISO9660 image.
I think that’s it. If you need more assistance, or help to build the image,
just call xxxxx@modulo.com.br (without the 1-800 :))
Regards,
Nelson Junior

Assunto: [ntdev] Bootable CD (off topic)
I am working on a development project that requires me to support booting my
code from bootable CD. I would very muck like to use no emulation mode, but
I can get away with floppy boot support as long as I can configure the
floppy any way I wish. I have a boot image that is around 4K. I can copy
this to a floppys physical starting track and boot from it like I would
expect.
I just purchased the Adaptec Easy CD professional delux whiz bang version
because the box states that it support bootable CD creation; HA!
The boot support must be a floppy of hard disk and must be formatted using
FAT. This means that the software is not directly reading the physical disk
when making the copy. This severly limits the functionaliyt of boot support
in the software. My floppy is just a bunch of secotrs that contains BIOS
only code.
My question is this: Is there a profesional CD authoring software package
that can automate making bootable CD? I can handcraft an ISO9660 image file
and burn it, but that is far too tedious.
Jamey
