Use the tabs to specify the attributes of the compilation, such as the name of the CD, different characteristics and restrictions. In the upper section of the Boot tab (Source of boot image data) you can specify whether the template data for the bootable CD originate from a logical drive or a drive image files (refer to 'Template for making a bootable CD'). Note: If your preferred logical drive does not appear on the list of drives on this tab, this is because the drive is bigger than 640MB. This amount of data cannot fit on a CD so Nero does not display these drive in the list. Please remember also that under Windows NT/2000/XP you must have administrator rights to access drives 'directly' which is absolutely essential for creating bootable CDs. This restricted direct drive access under Windows NT/2000/XP is a deliberate Microsoft feature designed to prevent hackers gaining access to confidential data of other users. The lower part of the tab (expert settings) contains detailed settings for 'El Torito' standard compliant bootable CDs. These settings are normally grayed which indicates that Nero makes the right settings for you automatically. When an image file is entered as the source of the boot image, Nero cannot make the right settings automatically. If this is the case, or if you want to change the expert settings manually, you can enter all the parameters by hand. You are of course now responsible for the CD working correctly later on.

This option is only available when the compilation window is selected, as can be seen from the fact that the title bar is blue. If the File Browser is selected (and the title bar of the compilation window is therefore grayed) the option is not available and CD writing cannot be started. The `Write CD` dialog box now opens - it is the same as when creating a new compilation but the Burn tab is now in front. In the `Action' section activate the other check boxes you require in addition to the `Write` check box. You will find more information about this section in 'Before you burn your first disc'.

There can be more than one session on a multisession CD. Simulation Simulation corresponds to the process of writing data, except that no data is written. Simulation is used to check whether the data can be sent to the recorder quickly enough to avoid a buffer underrun. It can also be used to check whether the recorder can actually write to the CD.
