How can I get the boot information / files from a bootable CD? | |||

It depends on the CD. But if you can boot up using the CD and find your way to the prompt. Then you can copy stuff with the following commands (provided the CD actually takes over A: and the bootable CD is MS-DOS derivative). If you are using a unix derived OS, then I can provide the commands for that. > C: > cd\ > mkdir temp > cd temp > copy a:\*.* each '>' is where you can input a command. |

Use a boot disk, it's FAT. Or Google XMSDisk, a nice RAMDisk creator program. I use it for DOS recovery often. Combined with NTFSDOS you can copy the files to your HD, if you can afford it or find a copy. | |||

Originally posted by Kieran oh, then it seems you are out of luck unless you have a B: drive. Unless you some how make your computer use the only floppy you have use B: (that requires going through BIOS). If you get your computer set floppy to B: then once getting to DOS prompt, sys a: b: will make the floppy bootable and then copy command should allow you to copy some files from a: to b: |

Actually, DOS assigns the floppy drive to both A: and B: if there is only one drive. | |||
