A batch file to create a CD-ROM boot disk is available. Download CDROMDSK.exe (self extracting).
1. Create an empty folder and download CDROMDSK.exe to it.
2. Run CDROMDSK
3. Run SETUP.BAT. This will create a Start Menu Group called CD-ROM Boot Disk Maker
4. To run the program: insert a blank floppy disk into drive A: and run the program.
5. If you are trying to get CD-ROM support for DOS when booting from drive C:, you can compare your config.sys and autoexec.bat with the files on the disk.

Just for clarification:
This utility will produce a boot *DISKETTE* with a driver for CDROM access.

It does not produce a bootable CDROM disk!

This would probably be great if I had access to download the file. Anyone have it?
