Is there a utility to make various rescue floppy disk sets cd bootable?

It seems that every virus & partition program has some kind of multi disk rescue floppys. I would prefer cd's myself but I haven't had much luck creating my own.

For example the Win2K crash disks are like 4 floppies long, but the CD I created stopped at floppy one and then asked for floppy 2 which was there on the CD, but I couldn't point to it.

Ideas?

Have a look through BootDisk.com. I'm sure you'll find something there.

No, I think it is in a Dos like environment. If fact it duplicates the first few minutes of the Win2K install with the blue screen, with it loading drivers below.

There is something on the disks labeled disk 101, 102 etc. but I can't open them to see if I can change anything. Whatever is prompting to "instert disk 2" need to vanish, but I can't find it.

John, if you are running Win2k, there is a 4 floppy set of crash disks. If you copy them to a bootable cd, it stops and asks your to insert floppy # 2 (which is copied within the CD where you can't get to it). It dones't automatically run all of the files. It is still in floppy format with "insert floppy #X" breaks.

dafanman...I might experiment with that some. But I am looking for a one problem at a time solution.
