how to burn a boot disk

I am trying to start win 98 on another laptop.
I have downloaded this software
http://www.startdisk.com/Web1/ubd/ubd.htm

Do I now simply burn it to cd ( I have nero 6) ? or do i have to specify somehow
that it is a boot disc ?? as i dont see this option listed (and have only 1 cd)
thanks for your help

 

This comes from the Startdisk site. It goes on a floppy disk, not a CD.
CAUTION: The Ultimate Boot Disk is for personal computers running Windows 95, 98 or ME. If your PC has less than 32MB of memory or a quad-speed or slower CD-ROM drive, do not use these disks, go here instead.
​

TO INSTALL THE PROGRAM
​

1. Download the boot disk file for your Windows version.
​

2. Close your browser and double-click on the file.
​

3. Insert a floppy disk in your A: drive, click OK.
​

4. Windows should display a window like the one below:

​

5. Once the wizard completes, close it and click the "START" button to copy DOS files.

​

6. When installation has finished, you will see a "THANK YOU" message and can remove the disk.
​

ADDITIONAL NOTES
​

1. Be sure the PC and floppy disk are virus-free.
​

2. Test the UBD to make sure it can access your CD-ROM which will be drive X:\.
​

3. If your operating system is not in the default, "C:\Windows" location you will need to edit config.sys file as well as all of the config.* files and the msdos.lng file in the A:\SYS subfolder.

Slight problem, dont have a floppy drive,
is it posible to burn the boot disc onto a cd on this machine (with no floppy) and then have it working in the other (non working machine) (with a floppy)?
any other possibilites?
thanks in advance!

 

Maybe you can fake it with a virtual floppy...

Here is a guide for Nero 6

With these steps all you need is a disk image. They have all links..
Hope it helps.

 

All you should need to do is have the program copy the files to the folder of your choice, then use a program such as WinImage to make an image of the files, then burn the image to CD using Nero's 'burn from image' option. That's what I did to create my Win98SE boot CD. Works great & loads sooo much faster than the floppy drive.
