i used Nero to try and create a copy of a bootable TCP/IP floppy disk onto a CD and copied floppy contents into the CD-ROM (Boot) compilation option and selected to use floppy disk as boot sector.
It starts booting from CD and then says:
sector not found writing drive A
i checked the autoexec.bat and config.sys and nothing in there is indicating it needs to write to the floppy. Any ideas clever people?

====================

The DOS network start process writes to at least one file on A:. You can
easily prove this by write-protecting your network boot diskette, then
booting from it - same result as with your CD! You have to change the
network start process so that it writes to C: only.
