Is there any free CD/DVD Burner can help me create a bootable disc?

Software you need: CDBurnerXP
Step 1: Download and install CDBurnerXP
Download CDBurnerXP here and follow the installation wizard to install it on your computer. Double-click the short-cut on the desktop to launch the burner.
Step 2: Boot Options
To make a disc bootable, either use the menu (Disc → Boot Options) or click on the Boot Options button in the burning dialog.
Then check the box Make disc bootable.
Now you have to choose your boot image. As a last option, you can also create a boot image from a bootable floppy. To do that, press the “floppy image” button in the same dialog.
After you chose a suitable boot image, you have to choose the emulation type. Note that the size of the emulated medium has to be at least as big as the boot image you use. Otherwise it won't work. So for our boot image you have to use “Floppy 2.88MB”. The files which you have added (if any) to the CD layout in CDBurnerXP compilation window do not have any influence on what type of emulation you have to use. You can also choose other boot emulation types if you need them, but usually floppy emulation will do fine.
1. “Bootable emulation” (Floppy/HD) causes the image to be mapped to drive A or C, as a conventional bootable storage device.
2. “No emulation” is a special mode which loads the image into memory and executes it - extremely useful when developing copy protection or “smart” CDs designed for a variety of disparate systems. For example, the “no emulation” mode is used in the Windows NT operating system CDs.
For Windows NT/2000/XP boot images, disable ISO version number extension (;1) and do enforce ISO Level 1.
If you have a bootable ISO-image you want to burn (like you get from BartPE or UltimateBootDisc for Windows), you have to use the burn ISO feature.
