you really don't want an MS-DOS CD these days (IIRC it only came on floppies).
Do you not have the original Windows installation media? As this is normally a bootable CD and will be needed to reinstall Windows. (Assuming you're using Windows). Similarly most Linux Install CDs are bootable.

I tend tp concur with Geoff. The installation discs usually allow you to delete/create partitions and format the HDD as part of the installation process.
That said, if you really want to make a bootable CD, in Nero there is a 'help' entry for "Making bootable CDs". Probably there is similar guidance with other CD writing S/W.
