	CD-ROM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bootable CD specification, to make a CD emulate a hard disk or floppy, is called El Torito (apparently named after the restaurant chain).
		CD-ROM reading devices are a standard component of most modern personal computers.
		Future speed increases based simply upon spinning the disc faster are particularly limited by the strength of polycarbonate plastic used in CD manufacturing, though improvements can still be obtained by the use of multiple laser pickups as demonstrated by the Kenwood TrueX 72x which uses seven laser beams and a rotation speed of approximately 10x.

		El Torito is an industry-wide, open, non-licensed standard that is available without charge for use in developing computer systems, CD-ROM drives, and CD-Recordable software.
		Because pressed CDs are read-only, the number and location of the audio tracks to be recorded is known in advance, and the TOC is written to the disc (or more accurately, to the glass master that will be used to create metal stampers to mold discs) in advance of writing the actual audio data.
		CD-i has found a niche in informational and marketing kiosks, training, and portable interactive sales presentations, and is especially well suited for the presentation of high-capacity interactive multimedia applications to the noncomputer literate.

	El Torito (CD-ROM standard) - Bvio
		The '''El Torito Bootable CD Specification''' is an extension to the ISO 9660 CD-ROM specification.
		The El Torito specification sets a CD to emulate a hard disk or floppy disk, the CD would contain one or more disk images - exact replicas - and emulate the INT 13 functions of such disks.
		The designers of the format were eating at an ''El Torito'' when they came up with the format and wrote the first draft on a napkin.

		floppy emulation mode where the boot information is stored in an image file of a floppy disc, which is loaded from the CD and then behaves as a virtual floppy disc.
		ISOLINUX is generally used by Linux LiveCD and bootable install CDs.
		This mostly affects computers built before about 1999, and, in fact, for modern computers no emulation mode is generally the more reliable method.

	GLOSSARY of CD and DVD TECHNOLOGIES
		Therefore, a CD with computer data that is not structured according to the ISO 9660 is not a standard CD-ROM.
		The standard logical format is defined by the ISO 9660, the volume and file structure that was the key for the growth of CD-ROM.
		In the CD industry, where the pits in the glass master are measured in tenths of microns, electroforming is used to 'form' the initial metallic (nickel) mold that is used to produce the stampers for the injection molding machines.

	c't 11/99, page 206 - Booting Windows From CD-ROM
		To make a bootable Windows CD, you need a CD ROM burner and the respective software as well as at least 500 MBytes of hard disk space and a few freeware programs from the Internet we'll tell you about later.
		Among other things, El Torito controls the interactions between bootable CD and computer BIOS and is intended to enable CD booting both through ATAPI and SCSI interfaces.
		Because the system will later run from CD and the CD ROM drive can only be assigned a drive letter which hasn't been assigned yet, the system should be installed on a drive with a letter from the back of the alphabet.

	Writing Bootable CD-ROM: Try This At Home
		The CD001 header of the Boot Record Volume Descriptor indicates that this disc is an ISO 9660 CD-ROM; the EL TORITO SPECIFICATION identifies the disc as one that is potentially bootable.
		Phoenix Technologies and IBM have jointly released the "El Torito" Bootable CD-ROM Format specification, which defines how a boot image or images should be placed physically on the CD-ROM.
		The El Torito Specification takes advantage of ISO 9660's ability to use more than one volume descriptor, by requiring that a Boot Record Volume Descriptor reside at Sector 17 of the CD, which serves as a Secondary Volume Descriptor.

		The standard logical format for CD-ROM originally proposed by the High Sierra Group, on which the ISO 9660 standard is based; essentially identical to ISO 9660.
		The CD recorder has a buffer to protect against interruptions and slowdowns, but if the interruption is so long that the recorder's buffer is completely emptied, a buffer underrun occurs, writing halts, and most often the recordable CD is irretrievably damaged.

	mkCDrec internals explained
		The reason why we choose to drive the complete process of making a bootable El Torito CD-ROM from a simple "make" command was for simplicity towards end-users.
		One has to see it as a "disaster recovery" tool which is not yet standard available in any linux distribution.
		In worst case the users have to edit the "Config.sh" file which contains directory paths where images will be stored and so on (see Config.sh page for more in-depth details).

	FAQ on CD-ROMs
		One of the "features" of the ISO 9660 standard (at least, at level 1 of conformance) is that the filenames can only contain uppercase letters, digits and the underscore, and that the filename length is limited to eight characters for the name and three characters for the extension.
		Easy CD Creator builds ISO images in mode 2 form 1, that is with sectors of 2352 bytes, where the payload (2048 bytes of data) is complemented by various fields (header, subheader, CRC/EDC, P and Q parity bytes).
		According to the ISO 9660 standard, this string should be present at the beginning of the 16th sector.

		EDD-3 will also incorporate the El Torito CD-ROM boot specification to enable bootable CDs.
		And because most of the "interested parties are in T13, implementations should already be available when the standard is released."
		EDD fixes something that according to Curtis Stevens, director of software engineering at Pacific Digital and member of T13, "is a problem for everyone:" conflicts between DOS and Windows that prevent the system from booting when you add a new SCSI disk drive.
