Fewer PCs now come with floppy drives.

You install Drive Image 2002 on such a PC.

Drive Image gets you to make emergency boot floppy (2-disk set)

(You typically restore a disk image using these floppies by:
- booting from the first,
- and then inserting the second floppy when asked to do so)

How do you create a BOOT CD that will replace the function of multiple boot floppies.

Have tried "MagicISO" and follwed its instructions to make a multiple-floppy boot CD.

On running the CD, the function of the 1st FLOPPY seems to be reproduced well.
Process falls over when you get to the "press any key" prompt, at which point the content from the 2nd floppy would have been loaded.

Many thanks for your help
