Answer 2

Most current CDR publishing packages are capable of reading a floppy disk and creating a boot image from it. With the appropriate menu choices made, they will automatically "inject" it into the CD image.

With this method it is extremely easy to make a bootable CD. Some of the more advanced packages like Nero can create a bootable CD from any disk image, and allow fine-tuning of parameters such as the emulation type and start-up message. The basic process for making a bootable CD from a floppy disk is as follows:

Create a bootable floppy disk that has all required driver and start-up software on it. You will need a CD driver in order to use the CD in a conventional manner once the system has finished booting. It is wise to use a generic CD driver if you plan on using it in a few different systems.

Make sure that any path names in the config.sys and autoexec. bat files do not specify drive letters.

Make sure your boot process does not attempt to write to the disk. Set the read-only flag on all files and write-protect the disk if possible. If your system tries to write to the CD on boot-up, it will crash.

Test this disk thoroughly in whatever PC environments you wish to use it.

Once you are happy with the bootable disk, create the CD with your CDR publishing package. Selecting the "bootable" option will usually prompt for the floppy disk. Put any other data onto the CD in the same session.

NO NO ! DON'T EVER USE NERO OEM CD WRITING SOFTWARE

TO CREATE BOOTABLE C.D

Bcoz, last time when i used it, and run it, 2, 3 times, then it

Deleted Partition Tables of my Hard Disk.

This is Really Bad . MY O.S was not starting only bcoz of so called Invalid partition table error..

DR-DOS is a dos program copied by NERO to bootable C.D

This DR is really a Villian. And tries to Erases Important HD Data/Tables.

If your hard disk is not having partition tables, i think your system will

end giving errors.

So, goto local Computer Seller, ask him to give you a copy of Windows 98 Bootable C.D.

If he agrees to give agt. some payment, then take it and use it everytime you want to goto Olders times of DOS.

That was my advise, You are the judge.

You decide !

Byeee!
