Hello,
a friend of mine has a bootable floppy disk with diagnostic OBDTool software. It is based on some kind of Linux and works only after booting it. Problem is, that he has not a floppy drive in his notebook and wants the floppy content place to a bootable CD-R(W).
The floppy content is not visible nor under Windows neither Suse Linux. Both systems say that no floppy is inserted. Is there a way how to make the floppy image, and burn it on CD so that it would be bootable?
Thanks for any advice

When creating a bootable CD from a 1.44 floppy image you will not under windows linux or any other OS that I know of, be able to see the contents of the boot image, unless you boot to it. or mount the image somewhere, mount -t <filsystem> -o loop /path/to/image.img /path/to/mount/point If you want to make the CD bootable with the floppy image, then I suggest using a combo of dd and k3b you can add the boot image to the K3b bootcatalogue. Hope this helps Chadley
