For maximum reliability and portability, it is recommended that you burn a bootable CD at the lowest speed possible. Unlike an audio CD, an error on a boot disc might make the whole thing unusable. Also, some older computers may not be able to read discs burned at a faster rate correctly.
The CD or DVD drivers speed is measured by xX e.i 24X. The higher the burning X speed the faster it will burn
