It should burn a bootable CD. The file you downloaded is basicly the same type of file as when you copy or burn a CD to the "image recorder" instead of a "real" CD. What you are doing here is copying the disk image to a CD, just like you would cop[y from one CD to another...
I have used severial different versions of Nero, so I hope I hit the turms right for the version you are using, or at least you can figure out the correct ones for your version ov Nero. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
