3.9.2 CD-ROM Installation
You must have a CD-Writer and appropriate CD-ROM burning software in
order to create a bootable CD-ROM. The software must support the creation
of bootable CD-ROMs that use a Custom boot record. (One choice is Golden
Hawk’s CDRWIN).
Creating a bootable CD-ROM will allow you to boot ERD Commander 2000
more quickly than when booting from floppy disks. It is also a convenient
means of creating a disaster recovery CD-ROM on which you can place
system images or other files that you might want to use to recover or restore
a system.
If you are creating a CD-ROM installation you will be prompted for a directory
into which the CD-ROM image should be copied. (See Figure 3-9) Once
completed, use your CD-Writer software to burn the CD-ROM image. When
you create the CD-ROM, be certain to follow these directions carefully, or the
CD-ROM will not be bootable:
1. Add the image directory to the CD-ROM. When the CD-ROM is burned the
\i386 directory should be in the root directory of the CD-ROM (i.e., F:\i386).
2. Use the ISO 9660 file system (NOT Joliet).
3. Mark the CD-ROM as bootable.
4. Use the file BOOTSECT.BIN as the boot sector Image.
5. Set Media Emulation to 'custom'.
6. Set Load Sector Count to '4'.
7. Set Load Segment to 07C0 (hex).
8. Enable copying of Hidden and System files.
9. Disable version numbers.
10. Disable preservation of full path names.

instructions, please refer to the Appendix on page 44 of this document.]
