To fix this you need to make the CD boot-able.
Here is how to do it with NERO.
1. First step is to create a new bootable ISO compilation. This can be done
by clicking the menu command "File" -> "New...".
2. On the left side of the dialog please choose the icon "CD-ROM (Boot)".
3. At this point you can see the property page "Boot". The upper part of
this page is used to select the kind of model you have as input for the
bootable CD. You can choose whether you want to use a logical drive or an
image file as model for your bootable CD.
Note: If the desired input device does not appear in the list of possible
model drives then the reason is probably the size limitation for bootable
CDs. The logical drive's size may not exceed the capacity of a CD; that
means 640MB.
Note: Please consider that you need to have administrator rights to be able
to create bootable CDs using Windows NT 4.0. This behavior is by Microsoft's
operating system design and was chosen to prevent hackers from accessing
other user's (possibly secret) files. But to create bootable CDs all sectors
of a logical drive must be accessible. And the only user who's got the
permission to read all sectors using Windows NT is the supervisor.
4. The lower part of the boot property page contains detailed settings for
bootable CDs. These settings normally are dimmed indicating that Nero will
check and set all the expert options automatically for you. If you choose to
use an image file as model for the creation of a bootable CD, then Nero
can't automatically choose those settings for you. In this case, or if you
choose to define these settings manually, you can do so. Of course you're
responsible for the resulting CD. If the settings are incorrect you will get
an incorrect bootable CD...
5. You can now click on New. The ISO compilation window opens.
6. If the File Browser has not yet been opened, you can do that now by
entering the VIEW>New File Browser command or by clicking on the File
Browser icon.
7. Click on the desired data files in the File Browser with the mouse and
then drag them into the compilation window.
Note: you can burn a bootable CD without data on it. In that case, you don't
have to compile files.
8. Now open the Write CD dialog. The easiest way to do this is to click on
the Write CD icon in the toolbar. You will then go to the Write CD dialog
box, which will undoubtedly look familiar to you:
9. It is the same box which you saw for the creation of a new compilation,
only now the Burn property sheet is shown on the top.
You will see several boxes, of which some have already been selected. All of
the preferences may now be examined and changed if necessary.
10. Confirm by clicking on Write.
