    Post bootable CDs

    I want to make a bootable CD so I can ghost machines here at work. Does anyone know how to make a bootable CD? I basically want to take a bootable floppy and make a bootable CD. Thanks in advance,

    Norton Ghost will make them I believe. Apart from that most newer CD-burn software can make them too. Pretty sure Nero 5.x will do it.

    I use CeQuadrat WinOnCD 3.6 (Power Edition) for making bootable disks and "getbtimg.exe" utility for making image files. WinOnCD can make bootable CDs with emulating booting from the harddrive also,by the way.

    Adaptec EZ CD creator 4.2 or higher will do them also, look to the right of the "new" button on the gui.You'll see a downward wedge that shows a drop down menu. clik it and choose bootable CD and it'll adk you for the floppy you want to use....and away you go.......
