46670 2002-05-01 11:34:00 Either a 95 or 98 bootdisk will do the job. A 98 is probably better as it will have CD rom drivers on it that from memory 95 doesn't. Guest (0)
46671 2002-05-01 11:40:00 what do you mean by 'sort of'?

stock stanard boot disk will be ok.

you can get a custom one that has more features/tools like UBD www.startdisk.com if you what to do a custom setup.

46672 2002-05-01 22:33:00 When you create a bootup disk, just copy both MSCDEX.EXE and your CD ROM Driver (normally a .sys) too.

After your configured your autoexec.bat and config.sys file, then copy these also. This just saves having to load all other lengthy cd rom drivers like as in win98, when in the end, its just your own.
