Ok here's my question:

I am wanting to create a boot disk with Windows 95, NT, 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, and XP all on one CD. Will my system be "smart" enough to know which OS I am using and boot the appropriate drivers? In other words is it possible to creat an all inclusive Boot CD? Also is there an order that I need to put the drivers in?

I orginally posted this in the OS forum but didn't get any answers. I need to know kind of quickly.....

i too want to know, windows will not automatically boot the correct drivers, you need to do some programming and probably use linux to boot up, than select the OS

You might be able to set it up with a boot menu, but it will NOT be able to auto detect your OS.

Maybe I'm missing your point here, but if you're going to create a boot CD, why not just boot off of the OS CD?
