    I want to make a bootable CD from a floppy disk. I tried doing this in Roxio's Easy CD creator, but it keeps saying it can't read the floppy (that it isn't bootable). This is wrong since the floppy boots fine. How can I create a disk image of the floppy then create a bootable cd from it (is there another utility)?

    thx,

    Unlike bootable floppies, bootable CD's must contain relevant boot information in a particular location on the CD. This site may help explain it all:
