I am trying to create a bootable cd with nero and using a win 98 boot floppy or a 32mb USB flash drive with win 98 boot on it or even an image file as the source of the boot files. I also need to add about 10 mb of data to the CD. When I create the disc using the floppy as source it only copies the boot files from the floppy and no data (even though I added it). If I use the 32mb flash drive as source I can get it to create a bootable CD but it is 32mb in size and not 10-11mb. So my ISO image of it is too big. I ultimately want to create a 10mb ISO image to email. No matter what I do I either end up with a bootable disc with no data on it or a bootable disc that is 32mb in size. I want to create a bootable disc that is 10-11 mg in size for the ISO.

Does anyone know what settings to use or is there a better software application to use?

Thanks

This is either so easy that nobody will post or nobody knows how to create a bootable cd with 10mb of data on it.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Follow the links Jaclaz has listed. This was very helpful.

My problem was also complicated by some Intel motherboards no longer being designed to boot from DOS CDs.
