With the Adaptec software (assuming it is Easy CD Creator and has not
been crippled), it is easy to create a bootable CD from what you've
downloaded (assuming it is a bootable iso image).
What you need to do is choose File -> Create CD from Disc Image. (This
is the key step to make the difference between making a disk with a copy
of what you've downloaded vs. making the CD into a "real" CD.)
Then, when the menu comes up to let you browse for images, change the
extension from whatever it defaults to (which is the Adaptec
"proprietary" format) to "iso", choose the image, check your options,
and burn it. I'd tell you more about this, but I can't call my
CD-Creator up right now -- you want to do things like close the disk and
make sure the format you choose supports a bootable disk. (I think the
choices are ISO 9660 and Joliet, I think you want ISO 9660.)
Hope this helps,
Randy Kramer
