Ok, here it is.

[prospect]

Ok now what do I do with it? It just opened up in notepad and went away when I tried to save it. LOL

[jydiver]

Right click "Save Target as.." ? Rename to .bin. In nero Source of boot image data, browse to that file.

[prospect]

Ok I saved it to my desktop. Do I rename it now? or when I find it in Nero? And by the way, do I use Nero burner rom? or what? I knew this was gonna be a headache for me. But I want to learn.
Or am I giving you the headache? LOL

[jydiver]

I gave myself the headache trying to figure it out.LOL
Rename it now. I'll start from the beginning. Open My Computer\Tools\Folder Options\ uncheck Hide Extensions for known filetypes\click ok. rename file to boot.bin then go back in and recheck Hide extensions...
In nero CD-ROM(Boot), change Source of boot image data to Image file\Browse\ Files of type All Files find Boot.bin open and the cd will boot.

I have to take off for about an hour. So i'll try this as soon as I get back. Thanks for your time.

[prospect]

Ok I think I did it. Now what?

[jydiver]

I'm sorry Prospect, i must be getting tired I lost you someplace. what are you trying to make bootable?

[prospect]

Oh that's ok. Yes I was. I did like ya said. then went back to first page and tried to do what was said there. No luck. Plus this is my first time using Nero. So there are all kinds of first for me today.

[prospect]

Ya know what else happened. After I renamed that file. It went to that funny looking thing when windows doesn't know what to open it with. That's what I have now.

[jydiver]

are you trying to make a win 98 startup disk work in xp?

[prospect]

yeah.

[jydiver]

I'm sorry, it won't because dos can't access an ntfs file system. that file will make a non bootable winxp disk boot.

[prospect]

So what are ya trying to tell me? I can't make a disk for win 98 from XP. If not, all is not lost. Cause at least I got to play with Nero a little.

[jydiver]

well at least something good came of it
