CreateCD

The CreateCD utility was designed to be a command-line-based alternative to the GUI-based CD-Recording process in Windows XP and Windows 2003. It has several benefits: - Allows for unattended operations from batch files. A non-zero exit code is returned on failure - Supports erasing CD before recording - When possible, does not create an intermediate copy of the files and directories being recorded - Supports creating bootable CDs. Currently boot image must be an image of a bootable 1.44MB floppy. The companion utility fdread.exe is used to create an image file of an existing floppy. - CreateCD utility uses the same APIs and interfaces as Windows XP Shell CD Recorder.
