making a bootable cdr

[fenris]

Here is the situation at work, every PC runs winNT 4.0 (they all have licenses pappers but not cd's for the individual PC's) When every a computer needs a driver or something from the NT disk, the master disk is used. Inevitable the disk gets scratched or damaged and becomes unusable and we have to order a replacement. I have tried burning a copy of it and using the copy instead. This works fine. Unfortunately it is not bootable. Any ideas on how to make it bootable? What I did was to create an image of the disk and burn that image. I am using adaptec 4.0. Would this also work for windows 2000 server as this is what our servers are going to?

Have you tried doing a direct CD to CD-R copy? I have copied several bootable CD-ROMs in the past and they all work... Mike Wills

Mike, I'll have to try the direct cd to cd-r copy and see if that works.
