Creating a bootable CD-ROM |
You might want to create a bootable CD/DVD so that you can defragment your startup partition. Before doing this, you may want to see if you can boot from a different volume on your machine (by installing the OS on another volume), or defragmenting from another machine using FireWire Target Disk Mode.
The simplest way to create a bootable CD/DVD is to use CDMaker which should be available to you from your distributor. CDMaker is a utility developed by Coriolis Systems that will allow you to create bootable CD/DVDs with Coriolis products on them. CDMaker comes with instructions about how to create a bootable CD/DVD. You will need a CD/DVD writer and some blank recordable optical media.
