Jerry tfbc -
I don't know if this is above your cousin's abilities but it's worth a
shot. A very good resource for making a cdrom boot disk can be found
at http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/cdrom/
There are also other types of boot disks that can be made from the
modules available at this site. I have one that will boot any cdrom in
our office and also start a network connection for any of the various
NICs in use here.
If your cousin is starting with computers and wants to dig right in
this is a great resource. If your cousin only wants a boot disk that
will also load the cdrom drivers and she already has windows 98 then
she can goto Start --> settings --> control panel, start Add/Remove
programs, click on the startup disk tab and click create disk. This
will make a bootable floppy with cdrom support.
