How to Make a Windows Boot Disk on a Mac
- 1). Launch the Disk Utility program on your Mac computer. Disk Utility is located in the "Utilities" folder within the "Applications" section of your Mac hard drive.
- 2). Insert the Windows CD that you want to use to create a boot disk.
- 3). Highlight the Windows CD from the list of media on the left side of the Disk Utility window.
- 4). Click on the "New Image" button in the top toolbar.
- 5). Choose to save the new disk image on your desktop, select "DVD/CD master" as the image format and press "Save" to begin copying the contents of the CD to your hard drive. Disk Utility will create a .cdr image file that will act as a replica of the CD.
- 6). Close Disk Utility when the image creation process is finished and go back to the Finder.
- 7). Open the "File" menu and select "New Burn Folder."
- 8). Double-click on the burn folder icon and then drag and drop the .cdr image file from the desktop into the burn folder.
- 9). Press the "Burn" button and insert a blank CD-R into your disc drive. The computer will begin burning the image file onto the CD, and when the process finishes, the CD can be used as a bootable disk in Windows.
