How to Create a Bootable CD

I have a win2k PC with lots of applications loaded. I use Drive Image to image the PC and upload it to a network share. The problem is that Drive Image creates two floppies. I would like to create a bootable CD from these two disks. I have seen many sites how to create a bootable Cd from one floppy but not from two.

All help will be much appreciated!!!
 
You've hit upon the problem, CD Burning programs assume there is only the one floppy disk involved in the boot process and don't allow for another or more.
 
Thanks for your help but I am still struggling here. Still haven't figured it out as yet.
 
Presumably drive image creates 2 floppies because all won't fit on one. Only the first will be bootable. So could you make an image of the first disk and then add the contents of the second to it? (eg, winimage has an 'inject' feature allowing addition of folder to image) - though of course, you'd need to know how the 2 floppies tranfer control from one to the other so when it boots from a single CD it continues loading after it gets to the end of disk one (just investigating what's on the disks may enable you to work this out).
