Wanted: DOS Bootable CD-Rom Program

I'm wanting a good program to load up DOS @ start-up from a CD-Rom as I have no floppy drive.
I tried a few but nothing seems to work, they just freeze on start-up!
So could you please add a link to something that you have used that has worked for you.
I'm using XP Home SP2 and Nero to burn the image(if you need to add the settings)

Also is XP Repair DOS or MS-DOS?

 

I know how to create a boot cd in Easy CD.. but not Nero.. so I looked around..
This site seems to have good instructions. But some where you'll need to get a .IMG file of the floppy you want to use for the boot cd.

Option 1:
If you have another PC with a floppy, download Winimage, or RawWrite
A boot disk
Run the bootdisk EXE - create a floppy - make an IMG with RawWrite or Winimage - follow bay-wolf's site the rest of the way.

Option 2:
WITHOUT a floppy drive at all... you can virtually create one - VFD
and try the above steps.

Option 3: (easy)
Last if you have WinRAR 'unzip' the boot disk EXE - it will error - but still seems to boot (attempted in virtual PC).. use the IMA file you extracted in Nero.

I just wanted to list some cool tools that may assist you later.

 

I've come across this little goodie @ http://homepage.ntlworld.com/hiren.thanki/bootcd.html
But I still need to add the NvFlash tool.
Thanks for replying!

Ps. Stupid me.....I was downloading Fat32 Dos disks instead of NTFS and that's why those DOS disks didn't work!

 

FreeDOS boots from CD.
