Default Boot CD


I am using RIS to install win xp in my network. The problem I am running
into is that not all the PCs have floppy drives and all are legacy PCs, so
there is no PXE either. My solution is to create a boot RIS CD, but I can
not find any resources out there.

Anyone know how to turn the RIS floppy into a bootable CD?

Default Re: Boot CD

Most CD writing software programs have an option to create a bootable
CD. They use a bootable floppy that you provide to make the CD
bootable. Use the option to create a bootable CD within your CD
writing software and when requested, insert your RIS floppy disk. That
is the easy way. If you can't get ahold of CD burning software with an
option to make bootable CD's then you can do it the slightly harder way
by creating a bootable ISO image using tools available from Bart's
website. http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/
