If you include the El Torito CD as Disk component in your configuration, you can boot and run your system by using a CD-ROM in the El Torito format. Before selecting this component, verify that the target system BIOS supports booting from CD-ROM.
Important If you plan to install your system on a bootable CD-ROM, use the Write Filter and El Torito CD as Disk components together.
To choose whether to boot from an El Torito CD-ROM or a regular hard disk partition, you must add the appropriate code to the Boot.ini file.
Note You can use the Findfeature to search for any component.
When the El Torito CD as Disk component is selected, select the FAT file system to reduce interaction with the write filter and increase memory for write operations.
Verify that the CD-writing application you use supports the El Torito format.
The target system perceives the El Torito CD-ROM as a standard block-mode disk device.
