What distribution?  Have you already downloaded it?  What Windows
software?

If you're trying to burn a Debian CD, there are big honking huge .raw
image files available from various ftp sites.  If you've the bandwidth
and/or patience, you can get this and burn it with most Windows software.
You'll probably need to re-name it to have an .iso extension, then use
your software's "burn from image file" option, whatever it happens to be
called.  (Some software can't do this, but most can.)

If you want to burn a Red Hat CD, I've a web site on how to do this.  It's
at http://www.users.fast.net/~rodsmith/rhjol.html.  There may also be Red
Hat images similar to the Debian ones on some sites, but if so I don't
know where.

I don't know the details for other distributions.  In many cases there's
a file called README.distributors or README.cd-creation or some such
somewhere near the top level of the distribution's hierarchy on ftp
sites.  Get that file and read it.

I coudl be wrong so dont take my advice too much.  But I dont think
windows can read linux partitions, I know linux can read windows
partitions but not the other way around, there mgiht be a porgram
though, not sure. But even if it could, you would have to do soem other
things I woudl think in order to put Linux on CD. BUt I dont know
exaclty what, it just doesnt seem as simple as you make it out to be..

stupid post but oh well
