Need help with CD burning programs.

Have two CD-R-Writer drives. One came with Roxio and the other with Nero burning programs.

Both these will Auto-boot Program CDs like MS Win, fs9 etc, or magazine freebies.

Also Downloaded the winXP-Proffessional Burning program "CD Burner Pro XP", as I was advised to use it to burn an ISO file on a CD-R bootable CD.

The Nero type CD drive would not accept to burn the file, as it only accepts CD-Re-Writer CDs.

So I burned the file using the Roxio type drive, using "CD Burner Pro XP".

This CD now will only Auto-Boot in the Roxio type drive, and will not Auto-boot on another PC with standard CD drive.

It is getting rather confusing and would like some clarification to establish a correct method on burning CDs.
Thanx,            nick

Hi Congo,
Do not seem to have "Nero Burning Rom" only "SmartStart" leading to
"Nero EXpress 6.6.0.16 Bundled", although burning rom is referred to in the help file.

Also no "burn ISO image" option anywhere, only select image to burn.

Why within windows both drives can autoboot a bootable program CD, but only one drive can autoboot when starting up the PC ?.
