How to make a Bootable Program without an OS

How would you go about making a boot-able program?  
What type of language would I use to do this.

Basically, I just want to make a simple program that I can write to CD that is bootable to check diagnostics of the system, etc...

I don't want it to be dependent on any operating system > I want it to be bootable from CD kind of like the Rescue Disks (but on a way more basic level). /  Or how the computers have the diagnostics disks (which do not have to operate off of an OS, but acts as its own OS)..

Any ideas???
