Brian_Holiday Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I need to transfer two floppy disks onto a single, bootable cd. When I use Nero, it only takes the first one. FYI, these are Norton Ghost Boot Floppies. I need to either have Ghost on the bootable partition on the cd, or load both the Network and CD drivers. The version of Ghost I have does not have this option, and I have tried bootdisk.com but you can only get one or the other to work. TIA BH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Try putting them both in a folder and then transfer them to the CD, In one folder. Edited August 29, 2005 by lefty1953 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would a multisession It looks like Nero creates a partition from the input floppy, and a second partition with any files I specify for the burn. Unfortunately, to read the CD drive you need one set of drivers, and for the network you need another. I even went back to an old 6.22 DOS disk and created a bootable floppy using the older and significantly smaller command.com, hoping I could fit both on a single disk. Ghost wouldn't work with it.

Dont use Nero to copy the files to a folder only when you copy the folder to the CD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
