Preface:
Unlike in all the previous methods, with this method it's now unnecessary to
patch the floppy image file.(jippee).
The steps.
1.Prepare a bootable floppy disk with the necessary files on it, such as:
- FDISK.EXE
- FORMAT.COM
- SYS.COM
- E-IDE CD-ROM DRIVER
- SCSI CD-ROM DRIVER + ASPI-LAYER (for Adaptec based controllers)
- MSCDEX.EXE
- MOUSE DRIVER
- HIMEM.SYS
- EMM386.EXE
- CONFIG.SYS
- AUTOEXEC.BAT
Test this floppy if you have created a multi-boot configuration.
!
2.Start Easy CD Creator Deluxe. 3.On the CD Layout properties, select the
Data Settings Tab. 4.Click on the Bootable box and make sure
the File system is set to ISO9660. (anything else is not possible,
btw.)

5. Click on OK when you're done. The system will ask you to put the
bootable floppy (= image) into the floppydrive A. As shown below.

6. Once you've clicked on OK, Easy CD
Creator (ECDC) will read the floppy and automatically creates an
image. This image needs no patching..

7. Now you can Drag-and-Drop the files you want to have, into the file
list by using the built-in explorer or with the standard Windows
Explorer. 8. Change also the label of the disk, if you want. 9. The last step is to Record the disk and you're ready. 10.Have phun !!!
The disk should be bootable from E-IDE and SCSI CD-ROM players.
