    Sorry, never heard of it until now.

    This doesn't make sense, which is probably why you are tearing your hair out.

    I'm assuming that the CD burner that you are creating the CDs on is the same
    drive that you are attempting to boot from. If NOT, I suspect that the CD-ROM
    drive is not fully capable of reading CD-RW discs. I still run across that
    problem where I work.

    If the writing drive and booting drive are the same, then I do not have an
    answer.
