Making a startup disk

I have a problem with trying to make a startup disk.... basically I don't know how to do it.

Under OS-9 it was easy. Under OS-X Toast does not display any options like "make disk bootable" when I burn a CD.

I am trying to repair my hard disk with Norton and it advises me that there is a serious problem with the disk and I have to restart using my Norton System Disk. I do not have such an item. Have tried to make one (made one before in OS-9 quite successfully) but run into the problem I describe.

Can anyone tell me what to do?

thanks

Greg
