I would need your assistance to make a bootable USB with SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server
I have already downloaded relevant OS (Trail Version) packages @
1) SLES-11-SP4-DVD-i586-GM-DVD1
2) SLES-11-SP4-DVD-i586-GM-DVD2
when I tried to open these packages with PowerISO one of the package is showing as a bootable but not both of them.
1) SLES-11-SP4-DVD-i586-GM-DVD1 (Bootable)
2) SLES-11-SP4-DVD-i586-GM-DVD2 (Not Bootable)
would you be so kind let me know how do I make both of these packages bootable and make a bootable USB.
Thanks a lot in advance.
NOTE : I've also attached screenshots from PowerISO. please check.

bttape - Bootable Tape Creation utility
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/sysman bttape [-ui cui | gui [-display displayname] ]
OPTIONS
Specifies the user interface to be invoked. The choices are: Invokes the command line interface. Invokes the graphical user interface.
Specific command line options that will be used to interact.
DESCRIPTION
The Bootable Tape Creation utility is used by the system administrator to create a bootable system image, that consists of a standalone
kernel and copies of specified file systems. This standalone kernel is known as a miniroot and contains the requirements for a minimal
operating system.
In the event of a crash recovery, the system administrator can boot and restore file systems from the bootable system image by using the
btextract(8) utility.
During the creation of the bootable system image, you are prompted for the kernel name, the tape device, and the type of miniroot file sys-
tem, that is, a memory file system or disk partition to be used for the bootable tape image.
You are also prompted for the pathname of the Miniroot Append file, which lets you specify which additional files or directories should be
included in the miniroot. The size of the Miniroot Append file should not exceed 360KB. You are also prompted for the pathname of the File
System Backup File which defines which file systems are backed up to tape. Each line of this file specifies one file system by its device
name, mount point, and type of file system. The bttape(8) utility provides for the creation and modification of these files.
The bttape command has two user interface options: Graphical user interface (GUI) Command line interface (CUI)
