HELP :( Waisted 10 disks already

please could anyone help me i'm trying to create a CD boot disk but with no luck as my Novatech Laptop has no floopy drive.
So if anyone could help me or even hace a image file they could send me would be a great help

What exactly do you want the CD to boot to?
Linux? Dos?

It would be a good idea to check out the help or FAQ section of the manufacturers website. Most have a step-by-step guide to creating the CD successfully.

Thank you for replying i've tried that and doesn't seem to work so any other ideas would be a great help

have you got Nero Express?

you can make bootable CDs based on a bootable floppy

make up a boot floppy (use say, a Windows 98 floppy) on another PC, or download one from http://www.bootdisk.com

(you need to use another PC for this)
Start Nero
click burn CD
choose bootable CD,
it will prompt you to have the floppy handy, or have an image of the required floppy to hand :)

hope this helps


I did this a while ago to make BIOS updates for the PCs at my work, as we have some with no floppies.
