I Need to make a bootable CD, not a bootable floppy disk but a bootable CD!!!

I've got this friend's PC and I need to be able to boot into DOS only but the stupid thing doesnt have a FLOPY DRIVE! So i need to burn a bootable disk onto a CD somehow!
Does anyone know how to do that or where I can find it.
I've been searching google for 30 minutes and no luck so far

ANYONE!!!!!!

go find the bootdisk you want from bootdisk.com... format it to a floppy disc

load up nero, select bootable cdrom point the image to the a:\

that's it.

Hi, you can easily make a bootable CD with Nero or use WinISO (for this you should have the bootdisk files- which you can easily get at www.bootdisk.com

)

Hope this helps

cheers

Edit: Pff was beaten by 2min...gezz :/

I tried downloading some of their boot-disks and they are all .exe files which ask for you to put a floopy-disk in the drive, I dont have a floppy drive ;(

1º - go to bootdisk and download a bootdisk

2º - use WinISO and instead "Make bootable CD from floppy" choose "Load information from file"

est voilá!

Ok if you don't find a workaround, once I get done with some stuff I have here I will try to find another way to help you out

Depending on the computer, Esc or and F key being pressed should get you into the BIOS setup. Once there you can select which drive to be the boot. Select the corresponding drive for the CD. Hope this helps

forgot to add pressing the appropriate key during startup....
