However, this file can be easily made with a disk editor utility, such as "Norton Utilities" DISKEDIT.EXE (available for both DOS and Windows). Before using DISKEDIT, you must first create a boot floppy that functions exactly the way you want it to work when it is written to the CDROM. Try booting your PC with the disk to make sure that it functions properly and loads the correct drivers to access the CDROM drives.

I have used it to burn an ISO copy of FreeBSD 4.3 which is bootable. Should work for you. Another question--are you burning an ISO image of something already bootable, or trying to create a CD of various things, but which can also be booted? -- J'm To Reply Direct, Remove Clothes. ...-.-

What I'm trying to do is create a self booting cdrom to try and reflash my cmos bios. I screwed it up and I also had previously disabled the floppy seek AND removed the floppy from the boot sequence.(dumb I know..but at the time I had a reason...I just hadn't put things back when I blew the bios up) So I have this floppy with an automatic flasher utility and I want to create a cdrom that will take the place of the floppy. FWIW I don't think this will work either, but the cdrom lights are the ONLY thing that flash before the boot process halts. So I'm trying it before getting a new bios chip...which btw, is a new shape and most likely NOBODY but the chinese motherboard manufacturer will have the part in stock...So I have this $120 problem. If I buy a new chip or buy a cdrom writing utility or I buy the services of a flash repair website...I'll most likely end up spending close to the cost of a new motherboard anyhow...(and thats not a good thing right now) So thanks for the link...I'll give it a looksee tonight.. dave henrie (this probably made you more confused..sorry for rambling) "J'm Sm'th" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Dave Henrie wrote: > > > > Are there any sharewhare programs out there that allow a user tocreate a
