Im not exactly a n00b when it comes to hardware/software, but I cant figure out how to make my win64 cds boot. It doesnt have anything to do with bios cuz my xp cds boot to the installer just fine. Is there something special that you have to do while burning the OS to make it bootable??

Not sure I'm clear on your question, are you trying to copy an original Win 64 operating disk? If you try to copy a microsoft XP-OS CD, you will normally get errors on the copy, but it will usually boot.
Need more info.

I've done this with xp. There are instructions on my website for a short while:

Thanks guys. I figured it out like 30 seconds after I posted this. Just had to add a boot.ini file to the cd and opt for the "write bootable cd" thing in nero. After much pain and frustration, I'm now running on winx64. Everything seems to be runing just dandy for now. My steam will be up shortly so well see after that. Check for a post in the "rants n raves" forum if I cant play a lil css tonight.
