Default How to create a bootdisk that will run a program on startup

Can anyone tell me how one would go about creating a bootdisk
that would run a certain operating system setup program?

The disk has the AUTORUN.INF file in the correct format, but
the disc still will not boot. What I want to do is insert a
completely empty C: hard disk drive in my Thinkpad, and have the DVD
drive run the setup.exe for an operating system which is on the disk,
but it will not autostart.

I understand NERO has a way to create a bootdisk. Is there any other
way to create a disk that will autostart.

The Autorun.inf file reads as follows:

[Autorun]
open=setup.exe
icon=setup.exe,0


With the Thinkpad, you have the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive
upon startup.

Anyone know how I can make this disk autostart? I'm sure something is
missing from the disc.
