Create boot CD from floppy or floppy image

[David Levine]

Hi all....

 

I am attempting to create a bootable CD.

 

I have a bootable floppy disk (DOS, Ghost, etc). I also have a image of the floppy disk that I created some time ago with RawWriteWin. Since none of the laptops we buy these days have a floppy drive, I would love to be able to create a bootable CD based off of this floppy disk... I am confused on the steps to do this....

 

Thanks much!

In build mode, goto the 'Advanced' tab, then the 'Bootable' one.

 

Point it to the floppy disc image and tell it to emulate the 1.44 FDD.

 

Add your other files to the 'Source' box (back on the left side of the main window) and then burn.

 

So long as the floppy image loads cdrom drivers you'll have the ability to access the files you added to the 'source' window once you've booted from the bootable cd.

 

If you don't load cdrom drivers you'll only be able to access whatever was in that 1.44mb floppy image.

 

If you have a floppy disk you want to make an image of, ImgBurn can do that too, just use the 'Create Boot Image' bit at the bottom of the 'Bottable' tab.
