Thanks for adding that info, and welcome to DH pmshah.

you're right, you can directly save or extract the boot information from an ISO file and no need to burn a CD first.

and, yes, you can use the BBIE ( Bart's Boot Image Extractor) to extract bootimage from a bootable CD-Rom or ISO image file.

i believe, the instruction on my post #7 about using the WinISO was just about things that i did at the time before i made that post, actually.

anyway, please note that even though the BBIE can extract the bootimage,
but, there are some instances that the WinISO can do it better like in some of Acronis programs's boot CDs.
this because the Acronis puts everything in the bootsector and the WinISO can save all of them in a boot information (or bootimage) file. so you won't need to copy anything else to the CD but the bootimage file.
