I downloaded Acronis True Image and made a bootable CD as per their
program.

However, I have no idea if my CD driver is capable of booting the
computer.

The computer is a new Dell w/XP Pro. Dell no longer gives out a copy of
the OS with the machine, so I have no idea if my computer is capable of
booting from any other CD.

How do I find out if it is? I don't want to sit around with a
"bootable" disk that my computer cannot use.

(Yes, I've searched Google, but I don't understand a damn word of those
articles on the subject.)
