Boot from cd rom

I'm not sure if I can do this so here's the Q . Can I make a bootup cd like the bootup floppy disk ? If I have the computer set to boot from cd as first boot there is no need for a floppy disk drive then to get my os installed. If this can be done. Thanks

Yes... any of the popular burning programs can do this... but if you have a Win98 or WinME CD-Rom...you already have a bootable CD.

Edday-
floppy drives are cheap. you may want to reconsider installing one. you never know when some one will have a floppy with some photos or a program on it for you...they seem pretty worthless most of the time, except when you need one...
