A cd is bootable or not?

[oguzhantepe]

Hi everyone.

Can anyone help me about how to determine a cd is bootable or not ?
the problem is it should be done with using java.

I m waiting for your help.

Thanx.

No idea, but that sounds as a job for a low-level language like C... or, at least, for a Java binding to a C library.

Are you sure Java supports that kind of operations?

thanx for your replay.
Have you got something to say me about how can I get this. is it possible to determine it with reading some specific sectors on cd with using shell commands? Firstly I should learn the key points. :)

yes, just use the java equivilent of system(""); that would return whats printed to the shell, parse output, and boom done

Wait, do you want to make a Bootable CD, or do you want to check if a CD is bootable or not?

Actually I want to check it with a piece of code or command in java environment.

No, that is not what I mean. That would just delegate the work to another program, not give your program the ability.
