How to make a DOS boot CD?

[MichaelD]

I used to know this.

Know how you have a boot floppy to boot to DOS (an "A prompt?") I want to do the same thing, but w/a CD.

How do I do this? I have Nero 6 Ultra if that makes any diff.

Thanks.

In nero one of the wizards / projects is to make a bootable CD. You put a DOS floppy in your diskette drive, with an autoexec.bat that includes CD drivers, then use that plus a normal set of CD files.

Assuming you got the diskette right, the motherboard treats that part of the CD as A:, while the data files are just like any other CD (they're on D: / E: / whatever).

If you don't have a boot floppy with CD drivers, try bootdsk.com
