    This document provides instructions for creating a bootable CD (called Hiren's Bootable CD) that contains various disk utilities and tools. It describes downloading necessary files, editing AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files to add menu options and programs, and using batch files to build a bootable floppy image and ISO file that can be burned to CD. The resulting boot CD will present a menu at startup to allow selecting and running disk tools like TestDisk, Ghost, and a partition manager without booting into an OS.
