Can someone give me a website that has an easy and simple guide/tutorial on how to make a bootable dos cd? Maybe one that is most popular or your favorite or something. I wish it was as easy as making a bootable dos floppy! Floppies are disappearing now and soon cd roms will too. Are people booting dos with usb drives now? Well thats another question for another day, any help would be great thanks!

Look in the options of your burner program. Most of them have an option to create a bootable CD.

www.bootdisk.com has all kinds of bootable downloads.

Booting with USB is only possible if the BIOS supports it on that particular machine.

A few hundred ways to be sure.

Start with a web search engine and use the phrase, "create bootable cd".

The first page ought to get you going.

The bootable usb device doesn't work on all machines and all flash drives, but many people use them.

Start at pendrivelinux.com

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
