IDR Boot CD creation not working

I am trying to create a boot cd to test my DR.

I follow the directions to make the ISO file. And then using Sonic 7.3 burn it to a closed CD. But when I place it in my DR test box I receive "NTLDR is missing"

Also do I need to create the IDR diskette? Can I jsut copy the file to the CD also?

I thought the ISO disk is supposed to be bootable.

    Kindly refer the following technote link.

    Title:- During the Intelligent Disaster Recovery process, a reboot occurs and the operating system does not load stating that NTLDR is missing.

    How many times have you tried the process?

    I found that I needed to create and burn an IDR CD 3 times before I got a working image.

    It wasn't a "Bad Burn" in the end (as I initially thought). The ISO created by IDR simply wasn't correct.

    I had some stupid water that morning. When burning the image to cd, I was not selecting "burn image" I was just burning the ISO to the CD as a file.
