Booting My OS from a CD

Post by Lords-Warior »

I was wandering if there was anything special that I would have to do to make my OS boot off of a cd? I make the Bootable CD the same way a make a Dos bootable CD, and yet when I start the computer with the cd it just keeps resetting. Thank you for your help.

Are you just doing the floppy emulation boot?
Where is your boot image coming from and how are you making the cd?

Yes I'm doing floppy emulation boot. I'm also using WinImage to make the image of the Floppy Disk, because I don't have a floppy drive on my PC. Then I burn it using Roxio Easy CD Creator 5.1 by going to create Bootable CD and selecting Use Existing Image.

IMO you should not burn that cd with floppy emulation. so burn it without any emulation
