Making Data CDs Using Easy CD Creator
Create a Bootable Floppy Disk
The floppy disk you need to create is dependent on the system you
are planning to boot from. The floppy disk needs to be formatted
with the DOS Format command (FORMAT A: /S) and also contain a
config.sys and autoexec.bat file.
The config.sys file typically contains the instructions to load your
DOS CD-ROM driver while the autoexec.bat file contains the
instructions to load Microsoft’s DOS CD-ROM Extensions (i.e.,
mscdex.exe).
Please consult your system’s documentation for the proper way to
load your DOS CD-ROM driver and mscdex.exe. You should test
this configuration with your bootable floppy disk before you make a
bootable CD. If your target system boots properly with the floppy
disk, and assigns a drive letter for the CD-ROM drive on that sys-
tem, you are ready to make a bootable CD.
Note: When you add the command lines to the config.sys
and autoexec.bat, do not use fixed paths. For example:
Recommended Entry: device=aspicd.sys /d:aspicd0
Not Recommended: device=a:\aspicd.sys /d:aspicd0
