****, too complex. I have disabled my floppy drive from BIOS (for security and speed reasons). I use virtual floppy disk to mount empty images created by winimage. Then when its written to, unmount it and merge all the floppy images. In any case, with acronis its very easy. Use the Media Builder to write to a CD-RW, then use ultraiso to extract the BIF. Then use easyboot to load it with bootinfotable command. The biggest advantage with easyboot is that it has its own folder by default, and does not go cluttering the root folder of your CD. Use ultraiso to "hide" the ezboot folder, and even THAT is not visible now - perfectly clean CD (and anyone who copies your CD will normally be idiotic enough to not do an ISO or CD-to-CD copy, and will end up with a useless disk stripped of its boot-sector).
