I tried burning two files with .iso extentions to find lost passwords
austrumi-0.8.4.iso and cd041205.iso. I burned them to CD using drag and drop.
Niether would boot. Is there something in a 3rd party software that allows a
CD to be bootable? the files that I need are part of the boot process not
sure where to find a backup version
