Oh yeah? Well I prefer fireburner! :| ;) :p

No but seriously, I do prefer fireburner because it can do cue/bin and isos and it's just so damn easy to use. Run it once, close it, double click the cue file or the iso file and it automatically open fireburner, then you right click, go to burn, it gives you a final prompt and a few options, then you burn! Piece of cake!

CDRWin can burn cue/bins and isos to...and I don't find it all that diffcult to use, but you are probably right, it's UI isn't the most intuitive in the world.

CDRWin is the only program I use...it can burn cue/bin, burn ISO, write audio CDs, extract CD sectors, you can even use it to build a .ISO file from a bunch of files on your hard drive and not burn it.
This came in handy once when I had downloaded a linux distro that didn't come in .ISO format, then I could make my own .ISO :)

Just curious can fireburner extract sectors? Every guide I've ever seen to making your own bootable Win2kSp2 CD uses CDRWin to extract the bootsector...

Nero, file>burn image>all files>point to your *.cue file(edit if necissary in notepad) burn it baby.

Noriaki, I used EZCD 5.0 platinum to burn my XP RC2 and win2k slipsteamed Bootable CD's, absolutely easy.

You can use any software you want to burn the CD...my question was can you extract the boot sector with it?

Most tutorials on this subject have a zip file with CDbootsect.bin or something like that in it, so you don't need to extract the sector yourself...but if you wanted to, CDRWin can do it...can EZCD5?
