ola gentleman ;D

This is probably everyday stuff to most of you guys, but I haven't had a lot of experience with creating boot CD's.

Now what I would like to do is take my 5 or 6 boot floppies that I use for the different models of PC's and get them

all on a single CD with a multiple choice menu at boot to choose between them. I imagine I could use

WinImage/UltraIso etc to make *.IMA's of the floppies, but how would I go about getting them all on the same CD and

adding a menu? Any ideas? Sorry if this is a little low level for ya. I'm just new to boot disks. Thanks a TON in advance for any help!

Not sure that it makes a difference, but We're currently using Norton 7.5 and I can't see them upgrading anytime in the near future.

MagicISO can do that.

UNIX is an operating system, OS/2 is half an operating system, Windows is a shell, and DOS is a boot partition virus.

Wow, really slick app, I think this is exactly what I was looking for. I have successfully created the multisession boot disk, but it is erroring out when it attempts to create the RAM drive during the boot process. It attempts to create it on the A: drive. Any idea where I would look to reassign the RAM drive to a different drive letter? And Thanks again for getting me this far!

You're welcome! I suppose I can vouch for where both of your hands were for at least a few minute. I mean if you were typing at the same time I was, then there is no way you could be ruining your eyes - if you're old enough to know what I mean. :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

What?

RAMdrive should assign itself to the first available drive letter. You do have a floppy installed right? Try disabling it in the BIOS and see what happens.
