Make a Bootable CD from a Floppy Disk

[timswim78]

I currently use Norton Ghost 2002 to back up my computers. The only problem is that the Norton Ghost creates a bootable floppy, and there is not an option to create a bootable CD.

Would this work? -> I create a bootable CD in nero, roxio, or some other cd creating program and copy the contents of the floppy to the CD.

at first glance, it seems to me that yes, that would work.

It sort of worked. Norton Ghost booted up, but then it froze. Maybe someone has some ideas.

There is a guy names Bart. If you sift threw this stuff you might be able to find a good way to do a bootable CD.

Norton should have an option to create a bootable CD. If not, Nero (even demo version) can do it via a wizard. Insert floppy, insert CDRW, roast, test.

Create an image of the floppy using WinImage, then point to the resultant .ima/.img/etc during the disc compilation process.

Finally, got it working. I must have screwed up a setting on my burner the first time.

All I did was create a bootable CD in my CD burning software. It then asked me to insert a bootable floppy, and I inserted the NOrton Ghost floppy. I then burnt it, and I was able to boot from it.
