UltraISO does not show that an image or CD is bootable, and this is a serious deficiency.  

The user should be able to tell UltraISO to make the image non-bootable, or select a file either inside or outside the ISO image to be set as the boot block.  

Then, UltraISO should display a flag clearly to indicate that the image is or is not bootable.

It should also show which file has been selected as the boot image, if the session is still active in which it was selected.  The user should be able to switch from boot block file to another boot block file without being confused as to which one he has selected.

For a hint on how to display the bootable/nonbootable flag, see MagicISO.

UltraISO does show bootable status of a bootable ISO.

For non-bootable ISO, it will be marked as 'Data CD/DVD'.

Please use 'Tools'->'Make CD/DVD image' to get a bootable ISO from a bootable CD/DVD disc.
