I noticed that my bootit program would create an image of my 2 gig hardrive,
compressed down to about 600 megs. I made that image and then burned it to
one CD, with the bootit floppy as the boot image for the CD. After booting
the CD, I attempted to verify the image on the CD as valid, but bootit
prompted me for the 2nd CD. I'm guessing that bootit is programed to prompt
for the next CD after verifying the amount of data that would fit on the
first CD, even though the rest of the image is on the one CD. Anyone have
any ideas how to get the one CD to restore the entire image that resides on
it?

There is a setting in BootIT NG for 'alternate CD Close method' that
should handle this matter. Note that the recently released version 1.60
changes the default to having this alternate method ON
