Question Help with Boot Diskette


My computer doesn't support booting from the CD drive, so I made the boot diskette. I used rawwrite.exe and the cdrom.img file and wrote it to my diskette. When I boot from the disk, the menu comes up (with press F1 for more options, or enter to install) and I hit enter. The progress bar on the bottom starts going up, but at about halfway it stops, and BOOT FAILED: Please remove disk and press any key comes up. Can anyone help?

We will need some more info about your machine specs.

Is this a very old computer that doesn't support booting from CD?

Is it a laptop booting from a PCMCIA cdrom drive?
