OT: bootable CD from three Dos floppies?

T

Trinny

Hi.
As per the title, I'm trying to "back-up" my old DOS 6 onto a bootable
CD. I had a try and managed to get the CD to boot, but after a short
while it asks for disk 2 (ie. installation stops).
Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers,
Trin

You obviously did not back up all the files that are required
for a successful DOS boot. Why don't you just download
one from www.bootdisk.com? Or else post your question
in a DOS/Win9x newsgroup?

Are you trying to create bootable CD's from installation floppies?

If so, this will do it, although you may have to create a separate CD
for each floppy.
