    i am trying to write a bootable cd for updating a friends bios but everytime i try it doesn't work :wallbash:

    i have tried using Nero and copying the files from a floppy but it says there was an error caching the files so i copied the boot files to a file on my hard drive and then used the XP burning software to try and copy the boot files, Winflask and the bios .bin file but it says it cannot write them to the disk


    can anyone explain to me how i can do it as i'm getting really frustrated with it now :wallbash:



    thanks

    im not to sure but doesnt a cd boot in a different way to a floppy, they need different files dont they?

    Anyway in nero there should be an option to write a bootable cd di you use that option or just the normal iso cd?
