Bill,
This really depends upon whether or not your BIOS supports it.
Check the CMOS settings and see if  there is an option to use a
CD-ROM device as a primary boot device.  Then, you need a CD-ROM
disk that has the DOS boot record and system files installed.
You'll need a drive that writes CD-ROM, either CDR or CDR-W.  Use
the format command in DOS with the /s option or in Windows with
the copy system files option checked.  If your BIOS does not
support it, you might check the BIOS manufacture's website to see
if their is an upgrade that does support this feature.

Hmmmmmmm, I tried this to make a bootable CD-ROM myself by having the
systems files on the root of it but it did not boot I think there is a
little more to it then that. Does it have something to do with "Rockford
Extensions"? ( I don't know if that is exactly what it is called so don't
laugh ) or does that have to do with autostarting CD's.

Thanks
