Hi,
I have bootable network floppy disk for ghost image transfer though ghost casting.But I need to do the same using a cdrom drive, since I am unable to keep floppies lost longer.
Is there any easy way to transfer exact contents of floppy to a cd rom which will act as floppy does?
Norton Ghost software has a boot disk wizard, which allows you to create a network boot floppy disk but not a cdrom.Please let me know how do exactly on CDROM
Experts, please help me out...

Im not sure if this would work, but you could try burning the floppy onto a cd, then go into the BIOS and change the boot sequence to CD-ROM first and see what happens.
Let me know if this works...
 
I've done it and it does work. Create a bootable CD with your burning software (I'm using Roxio) and when it asks for the boot image to put on the CD, you simply make it pull it from the A: drive where your floppy disk is. Of course you do have to change the boot sequence in the BIOS when using it (as FAM already mentioned).
