Bootable means that you can boot off it (i.e., bypass windows when you turn your computer on).

To make the CD autorunable you just need to add an autorun.inf file into the root folder. It should look something like this:

[autorun]
open=<whatever application you want to start>
icon=<whatever icon is associated with the cd>

i dont know what the root folder is? is that where you place the files and folders on your hard drive to copy into the burning software? i dont know where the root directory is on the cd? does root directly mean that i burn the inf and exe file to the cd all bby them selves and not in a folder , just open...

so where do they go? no clue! then as long as there in the right place i just do a data burn?

The root folder is the folder where, when you open the CD, it is the folder you see first.
