If you are having trouble booting from the CD, watch my video on 'How to change the boot order in the BIOS' here:

This CD is functional with windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 and linux (but not Mac).
Types of CDs that I have tested (with success) are: CD Re-Writable (700mb - Philips) and DVD+R (4.7gb - imation) and DVD-R (4.7gb both Philips and Tesco). Mind you, the company of each CD is near irrelevant. This is not an exclusive list of course, but it is the list of CDs that I have personally tested with success. Most CD-ROMs will work though. You'd be unlucky if it doesn't work with a CD-ROM that you purchase.
Booting from CD Troubleshooting Guide:
If your computer does not boot from the CD automatically, then you will need to enter the boot selection menu and choose the 'CD' or 'CDROM' (or something similar) to boot from the CD, like shown in this video. The key on your keyboard that you have to press to get to the boot selection menu varies depending on your computer. The key on my computer is F8 but it may be different on yours. The key for your computer is often shown at the bottom of the first screen that appears when you turn on your computer; something like: Press 'F8' to enter boot menu. In the unlikely event that you can't work out what your boot menu key is or your computer doesn't have one, then checkout this extensive guide on the Hiren's BootCD official website:

@manicbassa Indeed you are. The majority of programs are contained within the subheading 'Dos Programs' and then within individual categories. If you see a given program on the Hiren's website, it will definitely be on the CD ... somewhere :)
By the way, you should have watched my updated and improved tutorial on this topic by clicking the annotation at the beginning or clicking the first link in the description. I hope I helped out. Have a great day!
