Hi, I created a bootable cd about a year ago using Nero. Created my own menu system and tools.

I am back at it again to create a new Boot CD but would like to view my old configurations. How can i view a cd-roms "boot files" because when i insert the cd in the drive all i see are executables. I can't see system files. (ie: autoexec.bat / config.sys / etc. etc.) How can i view these files off of a cd.

I have used a program called WinISO for this in the past. I think it costs $30, but for small iso's it is free. I use it to create an iso file and then I extract the files, modify them, and add them back in. After the ISO is the way I want it, I burn it. There may be better ways, however.

Yip, would agree with the above. I think you can accees via DOS or a third party file explorer. My email address "g.millen1@ntlworld.com" Send me a mail regarding the visio vb and I will reply with the attached files. Your personal msg link is greyed out. Many thanks..

I'm assuming you are using Windows XP.

XP hides system and configuration files, so try showing all hidden files.

Open the CD in Windows Explorer, click Tools --> Folder Options --> select the View tab --> choose View hidden files and folders.
