Does anyone know the correct way to make regular problems like (Eraser) or any software to a bootable cd.

Please explain a little more what you desire.

I like to make a hard drive wiper just in case of emergencies if everything else doesn't work. I though Eraser might help because it was free and it wiped harddrives well. I don't think Eraser is bootable though so thats why I need to turn into a bootable .iso file and burn it on the machine. I'm having troubles making the .iso file bootable.

Eraser is not a stand alone program, it will only run from within Windows.
If you need to wipe a disk, use DBAN or ActiveKillDisk
