    Booting from a cd image?

    Ok, I'm just wondering if there's a way to boot a computer (probably through an extra utility?) to a cd image. For example, lets say, you have an image on hdd x:\windowsimage.iso and you need to format your computer, can you boot from it hence avoiding going through the cd/dvd-rom? Thanks :)
