Taffy · 21-05-2002

Hi all,
I would like to make a bootable CD but I dn't have a floppy drive

. I would like to flash my combo drive and was told to create a bootable cd, to which ens i have tried. Near all the advice I have been given says that you must make a bootable floppy first. So i am stuck.. I have windowsXP home and nero burning software.
Please can anyone help.
Also make the instructions easy.
Thanks in advance

your best bet if you don't have a secondary os installed is to find a friend running win9X,Me etc anything but XP

boot into dos and then flash away.
