This is for ezcd 4.0, it should be similar for 5.0.

1. Open EZCD 4.0. Click on file.

2. Click on open new cd layout

3. One of the options, may be the last one, is to make a bootable disk. You will need a dos/win9x boot disk to make a bootable cd. I have made bootable install disks. I've used win98 bootdisks because I have the option of using fat 16 or 32.

Cool thanks! It unfortunatly doesn't work I don't know what's going on!!!!

Does it have to be track-at-once and closed cd or disc-at-once closed cd (obviously) or is there any specific setting I should know about to make it work properly???

I'll try a different cd-rom because i've tried 6 different burning strategies.....

It does boot becuase I booted off the windows 98 cd.....

I lost you there, FreakyOCR. What are you talking about? What is it you're trying to do?


BTW - Yes, it boots perfectly burning the bootable CD at default settings. I just made one on a CDRW media...

Oh lol I'm setting up the address of one of my NICs....

I hate this part calculating the subnet arghhh

That has to be the worst part of the MCSE course.... unless you got a's in math.... sigh....

this is mine:

IP: 192.168.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0 (Class C, MUST be compatible with the IP, and I'm hoping this is....)
