I have physical damages on my bootable floppies that were stored for sometime
(due to humidity i suspect). I'm trying to recreate & transfer floppy
emulation boot info to bootable CDs. Had problems with 2 boot floppies because
they need to write data back to the floppy disk. Only SURE way to have these
floppies is to boot from CD then create the floppies.

When i boot from CD, boot info from CD becomes floppy drive A: and physical
floppy drive cannot be accessed in DOS. How can i access the floppy drive? I
can only boot from floppy, CDRom & hard disk. I must be able to create the
floppies even without Windows installed.

Any ideas?


Jess
