Burning a Bootable CD:

It’s possible (but unlikely) that BurnCDCC may not be compatible with all CD/DVD drives. In that case, some other program may be used to burn the ISO file to a CD. It is important to mention that one does not merely copy the ISO file to a CD. Instead, the program uses the information contained within the ISO file to create the appropriate CD. As long as you make whatever program you are using aware of the fact that you are dealing with an ISO file, it should work properly.

(Note: Please pay more attention to the Step 3.)

Step 1: Double click on the burncdcc.exe to run the BurnCDCC software.

Step 2:

• On the BurnCDCC software, please click the Browse button to find and select the .ISO file you have downloaded.
• Check the “Finalize” and the “Read Verify” box.
• Selecting lower speed such as 4X or 8X is recommended.
• Click on Start button to start burning your CD.
• Insert a blank CD into your CD writer.

Step 3: Sometimes BurnCDCC will push your blank CD out from your CD writer and display a message as “Please insert a blank disc into the drive”. If this is the case, just push your blank CD back into your CD writer and press the “OK” button.

Step 4: After BurnCDCC starts burning the CD, the “Start” button becomes disabled.

Step 5: After BurnCDCC finishes the burning, the “Start” button will become enabled again and your CD writer will pop your CD out. Your CD is ready to use now! Press “Close” button to exit the BurnCDCC.

After burning, you will get the following files:

Notice:   After the burning process is completed successfully, several files will be created on your CD instead of a single .ISO file.

How To Use Spotmau PowerSuite CD

Spotmau PowerSuite CD includes TWO parts:

(1) WinCare™

WinCare™ can run while you are in Windows. Just put the Spotmau PowerSuite™ CD into your CD drive and wait for it to run automatically. If it does not automatically run, please go to “My Computer”, and then browse the contents of this CD, and click the autorun.exe.

(2) BootCare™

BootCare™ can run only after your computer boots from the Spotmau PowerSuite™ CD. Just put this CD into your CD drive and restart your computer. If your computer does not boot from this CD, please read the instructions below.

If your computer does not boot from this CD:

If your computer does not boot from this CD, you may need to set your CD-ROM drive as the first boot device.

To set your CD-ROM drive as the first boot device you need to go into the system setup (BIOS). To go into the system setup you need to restart the computer and hit a specific key on the keyboard as soon as the screen comes up. You can refer to the right top corner or the bottom of the screen for the specified key. Below is a list of common BIOS keys.

• Delete
• F1
• F2
• F3
• F5
• F10
• Escape
• Insert
• Control + Escape
• Alt + Escape
• Control + Alt + Escape
• Control + Alt + Enter

On most systems a message will come up telling you which key to hit to enter the system setup. Below is a picture of a system starting up with a Phoenix-Award BIOS. Notice the message at the bottom of the display. On this particular system setup you would hit the Delete key while this message is being displayed to enter the setup utility.

Once you have entered the System Setup you should come to a main menu. Below is a picture of the main menu for a version of Phoenix-Award BIOS. Yours may not look exactly the same, but the basic idea is the same for all System Setup utilities.

In this particular System Setup utility, the boot device settings are under the ‘Advanced BIOS Features’ category. Yours may be in a different category. If your System Setup does not have an ‘Advanced BIOS Features’ category, try looking through the different categories until you find the boot device order settings. Below is a picture of the ‘Advanced BIOS Features’ category.

If the first boot device on your system is set to something else (floppy drive for example), simply change it to the CD-ROM drive. In the picture above you can also see some basic instructions on how to change the settings. Once the CD-ROM drive is set as the first boot device, you need to save the changes and exit the System Setup utility. Usually you can just hit ESC on the keyboard to go back to the main menu and then select ‘Save and Exit Setup’.

There are literally hundreds of versions of System Setup utilities and this is just one example; however the basic idea is the same for all of them. If your system setup does not look the same you may have to use a little intuition to find and change the boot device order.
