Hi I wonder whether it is possible to transfer all the floppy disc onto a bootable CD. What I have in mind is that when I bootup a menu will appear and I will just select the item I need. The items could win98 startup, bootmagic rescue, norton ghost etc

You can make a bootable CD and put all those programs on it. If they are all DOS programs you would be able to run them. However, creating a menu to choose which one to run is another matter. It would take a person familiar with batch processing to set it up.

I've been creating bootable CD's with Nero CD Burning program - there is an option in the opening window to create a bootable CD - Just mark this option and insert a boot diskete before you start to burn the disk. It works fine. You may copy other data to this CD or leave it blank.

Hi Antonio, u have miss my point. I want to put all my floppies ie. Win98 startup, Norton utilities (3 disks), bootmagic rescue and all the rest that are read only, onto a bootable CD. So whenever I bootup my system, my CDrom will present a menu for me to select one item. Nero defintely cannot do the job.
