Alright....I have a WIn2k cd that just isnt bootable for some reason...and the computer im installing with has no floppy drive...so I need to know how to make a cd-rom that is bootable so i can install this

are you sure it's the cd?
it might be that the computer can't boot from a CD

Any scratches on the cd?

In a worst case scenario you could always pop the side off the box and hook up a floppy drive. Shouldn't take more than 45 seconds.

Check the BIOS for boot-sequence.

Nero and Roxio should both be able to make a bootable CD ROM.

Like I suggested prior, pull the floppy drive out of another righ and temporarily hook it up to the one you want to work on. Unless you don't have access to a floppy drive.

I can send you all the files from Win98 Startup floppy zipped up. It's 500kb.

i can't believe the lazyness of some people.

check to make sure the motherboard supports botting from a cd-rom like a post above said.
you might be wasting time if you just assume it can.
