I no longer have a floppy drive in my computer. Just wondering if its possible to make a Startup CD booting from CDrom...(Replace teh old Floppy start disk)...Ie with CD drivers and Dos promt etc? Anyone know a good quick way?
 
Yes, I found one at www.ocworkbench.com Go to their ECS FAQ and go with the bios topic. The Admin guy over there made a downloadable zip file which you can expand and burn on a CD-R that make's it bootable to DOS. Better still you can add files to the cd as you wish, like bios, etc. . . before you burn it.
 
I cannnot find it. I don't have a Floppy so I cannot make this image. Can someone help me and point me to a alrady made image? I just need the basics..Just get me to Dos and CDrom support...
 
I fix´t it on a cd-r, (in cd-creator) I just put a (dos) start floppy on a cd-r and set it up
to make a bootable disk.....work great........🙂😎

I understand you dont have a floppy but if you have a old windows 98 startup disk, you can e-mail it to yourself from another computer then you can burn these files to a cd rom. Make sure when you are burning the files to choose bootable cd.


good luck
 
download some bootdisk images from bootdisk.com. Then open Nero, select boot CD, point to that image you downloaded as a source of boot image file and burn.
 
Sweet AnMig, thanksfor the hook up!
