duplicting a CD



Is there a document or some place I can Read The Fine Manual or just
a quick explaination about the
CD or DVD architecture that will explain why this doesn't work to me?

I know that and have experienced it, I just don't know why.

Also, if you want it to be bootable, what else do you need to do if the
ISO came from a bootable media?
