Bootable CD

[ComputerSlayer]

Anyone know where l can down load a bootable CDROM which l can then add DOS and a few other diagnostic programs to. I have found sites which show you how to do this but it all gets a bit complicated with lots of coding. I have tried copying bootable floppys to CD but get no joy.

Hi ComputerSlayer,

Just a quick thought off the top of my head, depending on what software you are using to burn your CD's, like Nero or easy cd creator to name two, should have their own option to 'make cd bootable'. This is what I have done in the past to boot from a cd-rom. Just tick / select this option when you burn your cd with the files you want on it.

Cheers
O.G

I have been using knoppix for some time to fix Windows -- would not walk out the door without it. The page listed above is just a starter, but there are good knoppix resources all over the net. If you want to jump in with a download, see
