Re: [Qemu-devel] CDROM /Network with Win98

[David Sibai]

Hello,
I also had a nonbootable win2K CD and solved it by making a bootable CD out of 
my non bootable one.
Instructions available at http://old.bink.nu/xpbootcd/ 
(for xp, but it works just as well for 2K)
basically, just copy the files from your nonbootable win2k cd to your hd, then 
create a new iso out of it using the bootsector file provided at the url I 
gave.
