Is having a bootdisk that will work with Win95/98/ME/NT/2000 possible?

Doing it in overall it should work - until the point of where it comes when Win2k will load it's drivers - so this disk would have to have a CHOICE commandline which would let the user select the OS he would like to boot and then inserting the corresponding CDrom into the drive.

I think it's a waste of money because ALL ORIGINAL WINDOWS CDROM's are BOOTABLE and if it really comes to the point where you will need a Floppy to boot the computer to access the cdrom (because of Bios issues or alike) then it's easy to create a boot disk .

Hope this answers your Question

Don't know but why pay when you can get all kinds of good free ones?
