Felt the desire to announce that I managed to create a bootable DVD and say thanks.

I was on the ropes for a while last night when my first burn wouldn't boot.  In DOS, there was a long list of errors showing.

This morning, with a fresh mind, I went thru the process of building a Boot Image again.  I think I had missed the step of modifying 'autoexec.bat' on my first attempt.  Only excuse I have is I'm not real smart.

I used Nero Burning ROM to write the disc.  The settings NightOwl used in Roxio, I found in Nero.  But, there were lots of things I left as default, unsure of what they needed to be.

The second burn booted to DOS just fine, though, and the image passed the integrity check. I've got a good Boot Image!

Thanks, NightOwl, for your hard work in putting together the Bootable CD / DVD Guide.
