What's driving you mad, is the fact you're missing the boot files the computer needs to boot from a CD.

http://www.bootdisk.com

Give them a try.

As far as your Nero settings go, once you have the image you want to burn, and you choose BootCD, make sure in the first set of settings you point Nero to the image file on your hard drive.

Here's a great site that taught me everything I need to know about not only creating bootable CDs, but slipstreaming them.

That link will show you how to set up Nero.

I've never used Start Smart, I start Nero from it's shortcut in the All Programs menu.
