Hi,

I have Nero and assuming that can do the same thing, my next question
is:.....
Does anyone have a copy of the win98 boot floppy? :/

I have tried in the past to make bootabel CD's "manually" and
failed.
I know I can't just ocpy the files from the floppy across - there's some
"magic" involved isn't there?

Cheers,

T.
