That one is not too hard at all. If you are using any Nero version 4.0 or up, you will find complete instructions in the Nero Help. What you are essentially going to do is make an image of a bootable floppy. So if you already have a Win9x boot disk, you should be able to burn an image of it that will be bootable.

The Nero helpfiles are very good at explaining things.

Yell if you need any more info.

Start(Right click)>Explore>A:\(Right Click)>Format>Create a MS-Dos start up disk

This boot disk will find the CD ROM and make it active as well as put you in Dos with the A:\...........

@Tinker,

Perhaps I am wrong, but doesn't that just produce a bootable floppy, and whether you get the DOS CD drivers and MSCDEX or just the basic depend on whether it is a depend on what Windows version and what is meant in that version by a "Boot" Disk vs a "Startup" Disk?

I thought the question was on how to make a Bootable CD???

I think these will be far better than dos prompt bootable cd roms
