jaclaz Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 You want a floppy capable to boot a CD on a machine that cannot boot directly from CD? Strange, any motherboard that supports XP should have the capability to boot from CD directly.However, if I got right your question, what you need is BCDL, part of the BCDW package:http://bootcd.narod.ru/index_e.htmhttp://www.wolfgang-brinkmann.de/bcdw_e.htmlgete the 2.01 version:http://www.wolfgang-brinkmann.de/downloads_e.htmlhttp://www.wolfgang-brinkmann.de/downloads/bcdw201a.rarIt contains also a floppy image of BCDL.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weEvil Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) hey when the computer trys to read a disk before it start windowsdoes the cd need to be bootableYes it does. If you want the CD to boot. It has to be boot-able.The burning software does not do that for you. Get a bootable CD, or make it bootable. For XP/2000 use nLite and make a boot-able iso and then burn that.If you can't boot off the CD;Get a bootable floppy image off the net and write it to floppy disk. It will start up DOS command line and loads some CD drivers. Navigate to your CD and start your OS setup.exe.
