I have cd writer and i want to make dos bootable cd how to do this?

It is a different procedure depending on the cd-r software. Hit F1 and search for BOOTABLE. You should find what you need to know.

Hit F1 for a DOS subject? What are you thinking of? F1 works in Win9x, sure, but it's not going to give you any pointers on bootable DOS cd-roms. You need to burn a CD using the ISO 9660 format in order for the CD to be bootable. ISO9660 discs are compatible with all consumer Intel-based operating systems, including OS/2 and Windows 3.x, DOS, 95/98 and NT. Akuma gave a gave answer to your question in this post: http://www.computing.net/dos/wwwboard/forum/2246.html

Preston, Yes hit F9 for Help. Not many CD Burners work in DOS Mode! ISO 9660 does indeed create a DOS Bootable CD, But if you look in the Help Section of both Adaptec and Nero (Both Win9x apps by the way) it will tell you how! Akuma is wrong in his post, You can write an CD/R in a single ISO session providing you keep to DOS 8.3 file format. you only need to do it his way if you want long file names in Joliet format. Plus you keep telling us that Windows 3.1 IS NOT a Operating System! which it is not. It runs on top of MS-DOS (Or any other DOS) Make up your mind man.

Just so we are clear on your question, do you want to use DOS to make a CD that is bootable, use Windows to make a CD that will boot in DOS, or make a bootable drive image CD from which you may run DOS itself?
