    I'm looking to create a bootable CD that will give me 3-4 options of programs to run.

    I have a boot disk with Acronis True Image on it that runs and lets you restore a backup image, but I'd like to have the hard drive format and preparation programs for my Hitachi and Maxtor drives, along with a partitioning program on that same disk. That way if anything ever happens I have all the tools I need on one CD.

    How could I go about doing this?

    Look for the Ultimate Boot CD. You should also look into Bart's PEBuilder. :D

    Also handy is a program for creating floppy images like this one:

    WinImage is very cool. You can change a 1.44 floppy image into a 2.88 and put more files in it.

    If only someone would invent a way to use a CD ISO image as a bootable device, all would be perfect.

    Several tools here to help:

    Misc. CD-R/W Tools

    AutorunCD Assistant is a tool that can help you create an Autorun CD, to be used with your existing files. It offers a 5-step wizard that creates the autorun.inf file and automatically checks the integrity of start page and icon. If you are familiar with creating an autorun.inf file, you could easily do this yourself, but if you are not, then this tool is quite helpful.
