Download an ISO of the Mac OS CD, and then burn that ISO with Nero to the CD. It will be an exact copy of that disc. If the ISO was copied from a bootable CD then the copy you burn will be bootable.
Linux can be booted from a floppy or a CD, although very few modern distros are actually booted or installed from floppies. Mac OS X cannot be booted or installed from a floppy; the last version of the Mac operating system that could be reasonably booted from a floppy was System 6. Mac OS X versions up to 10.4 could be installed with CDs; 10.5 and later require a DVD.
you need a bootable OS nstallation CD.
If your iso is a precise image of a bootable cd/dvd, you need only a program to burn it. PowerIso can help with that. It's shareware but allows to burn bootable isos while it's trial. If your iso is not bootable, you will have to make it so. Again PowerIso allows to do so, but you will have to find full working version. Anyway, you will need to find a bootable cd/dvd of the same software (OS and so) to extract the boot sector. After that you edit the current iso by integrating the boot sector to the iso and save as a another iso.
press on startup to display the bootable disks.
You can such programs as PowerIso, UltraIso and if you want to create Os bootable CD you can use nLite for (2000, XP) and vLite for (Vista) OSes.
You'll have to get a specific version available on the Mac OS X platform, unless the CD that came with the CD says it also works on OS X (such as Spore).
What are you trying to accomplish with it? Do you want a bootable CD to run an instance of XP as in an operating system? or do you want to re-install XP? Bart PE is a CD you can use to give you a very light version of an XP OS but it's only to fix or test programs with in an evironment. Its really a tool to help repair a pre existing installation. (you need a real product key to create a custom Bart PE CD) If you want to re-install the XP OS on a hard drive, legitimate XP CD's are already bootable.
Mac OS X is supplied on a DVD with every new Mac. Upgrades to new versions of Mac OS X can be purchased from any retailer that stocks Apple software such as Amazon.

You cannot without erasing your hard drive and installing Mac OS 9 from scratch. Even then Mac OS 9 may not run on modern Mac hardware because Mac OS 9 needs the ROM chip to boot. Modern Mac OS X hardware uses EFI to boot the system instead of a ROM chip to boot. Mac OS X v10.0 - Mac OS X v10.4 support Mac OS 9 applications and can run them, you just need to install the Mac OS 9 compatibility program which can be found on the Mac OS X Install CD.
The most common bootable device around is the hard drive. That is if its formatted.So lets say you have a clean hard drive with nothing on it. Well get to your nearest computer and format it and install a new OS on the hard drive.You dont have to buy expensive ones since there are many free OS like Ubuntu or Fedora etc etc.all you have to do is format a CD to install the OS image and install it in your hard drive.Also a CD and a DVD disc can be bootable even a portable USB all you have to do is format them so they can be able to boot.
