How to make a bootable CD with Nero - China DOS Union Forum

How to make a bootable CD with Nero:
First extract msdos71b onto drive A: and make it into a software boot disk; under some drive letter create a temporary folder, and inside it create a subfolder named boot, then copy all the contents of the floppy into boot. Since a CD has relatively large capacity, you can also create other subfolders in the temporary folder, such as your own commonly used tools, like ghost, etc. Don't save the common tools too deep in the directory tree, otherwise it's very troublesome to open them under DOS! First- or second-level directories are best!
Open Nero, choose the option to make a bootable CD, then proceed step by step and drag the contents of the temporary folder into the burn file list.
Insert the floppy boot disk you just made into drive A:, start burning, and put in a blank disc. In a little while, success is yours!
It's the same with Easy CD burning; you can't directly burn the contents of the boot disk, because then it won't boot.

I tried it, but while making (burning) it, it read drive A: for a moment and then said it failed..

No way, try again. I was just doing it a moment ago, and it works very well! Or maybe there's a problem with the burning software!

When making it, you need to make sure the operating system, floppy drive, and floppy disk are all working normally.
