Storing an image on a LAN computer is nice, but sometimes, you may want to burn this image on a bootable DVD. It can be useful to bring such a media to a remote site, and regenerate a computer. It can also be considered as a practical way to backup a whole system.

Directory names are given here as samples. Adapt the following according to your specific needs and configuration.

1. We suppose you've recorder an image within the C:\PartImage\ directory. The image is called My_Image_2005-12-25.
2. Download initrd.gz and save this file within the C:\PartImage\My_Image_2005-12-25\ directory.
3. Download kernel and save this file within the C:\PartImage\My_Image_2005-12-25\ directory.
4. Download isolinux.bin and save this file within the C:\PartImage\My_Image_2005-12-25\ directory.
5. Create a text file, called isolinux.cfg, within the C:\PartImage\My_Image_2005-12-25\ directory, containing:
   

   DEFAULT rescue
   PROMPT 0
   LABEL rescue
   KERNEL kernel
   APPEND vga=normal devfs=nomount pxe ramdisk_size=40000 load_ramdisk=1 init=/linuxrc prompt_ramdisk=0 initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0 rw noapic lba
   

6. Download CDR Tools 2.0.1. Install the EXE (it's an embedded MSI) on your computer.
7. Open a DOS Prompt and go to your image directory:

   

8. Use mkisofs (from CDR Tools) to generate a bootable ISO:
   

   mkisofs -r -b isolinux.bin -boot-info-table -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -o ../BurnMe.iso .
   (Don't forget the trailing dot.)

9. The ISO generation should start...:
   
10. And you should get a full working C:\PartImage\BurnMe.iso image.
    
11. Burn the ISO. That's all.

Note: You might use Ahead Nero or any third-party software to generate a bootable ISO. Your mileage might vary.
