A CD-bootable BIOS needs to use the emulation info. to decide whether the partition should look like a floppy disk (up to 32Mb) or hard disk (up to the capacity of the CD) to the OS it boots by loading the boot sector from this partition. CeQuadrat tools for Windows (maybe there are some DOS equivalents) take a partition from your hard-drive and burn it into the CD. However, IIRC, once the machine is booted from the bootable CD with DOS DOS cannot see any other partitions on the CD, and if you boot normally into DOS or Win9x they can only see any non-bootable partitions on the CD.
