Bootable Floppy

[cancer10]

Hi

Does anyone remember there was an option to make a bootable floppy in windows 98 from Control panel > Add/remove Programs?

I need to make a bootable floppy/CD but unfortunately I dont have windows 98 any more. I am running Xp PRO.


Can someone please get me a bootable ISO, so that I can burn it in my CD?


Thanx

Format a floppy. Then go to the dos prompt and type:

sys a:

i always just used www.bootdisc.com

There are plenty of software on that site, which one out of them?

[renzokuken]

oops, spelt it wrong

www.bootdisk.com

what do you need the bootdisk for?

[cancer10]

Basically for creating/deleting partitions
also for formatting drives

[renzokuken]

in that case i'd recommend the gparted livecd instead

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

But bro thats for managing linux based partitions, no?

[renzokuken]

no, pretty sure it can edit/create/shrink/expand NTFS, FAT32 and plenty more on top of the standard linux ones

Can i delete/create partitions with this tool? can I run this at system boot time?

Linux is much better for booting from CD than Windows and has much more functionality, you can even remove viruses, that windows tools can't.

I really miss that small little utility which I could install in a floppy from win 98

do what the other fella said "sys a:" then copy contents of disk to cd burner, probably would b easier way but should do what u asked
