Hi All,

I am trying to make a bootable cd rom that contains ghost and other utilties. I am using Nero 5.5 and have no problem making just the bootable cd rom. The problem is that when I add the differnt folders that contain the utilties I cannot see them when booting from the cd rom into dos. It seems that I can see them from inside windows. Does anybody have any idea of what I may be doing wrong.

Thanks
Stealer
 
depends what version of Dos you are booting into, older versions of dos wil have problems reporting folders with a name longer then 8 characters.
 
Hi Stealer
I duno about nero but roxio takes the information that would normaly be put on to a bootable floppy and converts it to two binary files on the cd-rom.

When you boot from the cd-rom this info is treated as drive a:
Your floppy becomes drive b:
The rest should be obtainable from your normal cd-rom drive letter if you put your cd-rom drivers into your boot info
