How to create a bootable BeOS CD System: BeOS, Haiku, Zeta, Windows To create a bootable BeOS CD you need an image file of a boot disk and the system (here you can use the Image.be file of the "BeOS Personal Edition" for windows). Pay attention to the size of the target medium. The system and boot image needs to be smaller as the target memory. If you already have installed a BeOS (Zeta) System you can easy use the integrated burning application CD Buner to create the Cd. If you don't have an installed BeOS (Zeta) System you can use any other burning application with CUE support (Windows). BeOS/Zeta After you have created the image files we open the cd burning application CdBurner . You can find it under /boot/beos/apps/.  Here we open the "Disc" menu and select "Add Date Track".  In the file panel we select booth image files. First the "boot" image file (bootfloppy.img) and then the "system" image file (system.img). It is very important that you select the boot image first.  After this you can see the two files in the burning application. Select you target "Cd Drive" and press "Burn Now!" Windows To create a bootable BeOS using windows we need to use a CUE sheet. You can create this Cue sheet with any text editor. Open an editor and type in following commands:
Save the text document with the suffix ".cue" on your system and then open it using the right mouse option "open with" with your burning application.
