    I know that you can make 4 floppys boot disks for win2k. How can I put them together on one cd that is bootable.
    thanks

    Every Windows 2000 CD is already bootable, and runs the same program that is on the 4 floppies. The floppy maker program is for older PCs that don't support El Torito (bootable CDs).

    That is, unless someone made a copy of the CD to a CD-R by copying the contents instead of doing a disc copy, which doesn't preserve the boot record.

    I am using a copy of my brothers cd to put on a old laptop. So that is why it is not booting up on the cd. Is there a way that I can add a bootable section to the cd?

    Not after the fact, no.
