Windows Boot CD will guide you on how to make a bootable installation CD-ROM. You can get rid of those floppies disks once and for all. I will tech you how to make Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP boot CD. This page gets rid of that floppy disk and uses a CD. These tips will work for Bootable DVDs as well. The boot disks will work with all versions of Windows.
