BO0T CD FOR 98 WITH CD ROM SUPPORT
Check your CD burning program--some (like Nero) will create a bootable CD.

BO0T CD FOR 98 WITH CD ROM SUPPORT
To make a bootable CD Windows Setup disk using Nero or Roxio, etc., you need
to have a Setup floppy, or an ISO made from a Setup floppy, on hand. Kind of a Catch-22, g. Have to use a machine with both a floppy drive and a CD burner to create the CD. -- Gary S.

I thought of that as I clicked the send button :-) For OP: A new floppy
drive costs around $10--you can probably pick up a used one for next to nothing at a PC shop. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Gary S.

OK, but does it contain the tools one might need for Windows setup? Like
FDISK and FORMAT? Scandisk? Etc.? -- Gary S. Terhune "philo" wrote in message ... "Gary S. Terhune" wrote in message ...

If you are desperate and do not have access to a machine with both a floppy
and a CD burner, email me and I will send you an ISO from which you can create a bootable CD. Please tell me exactly which version of the Setup floppy you which to convert to CD.
