Creating a Bootable Floppy Disk

A bootable floppy disk created with B's Recorder GOLD5 contains an ATAPI CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive driver and can restore most PCs. To restore SCSI or PC card drives, you require a separate driver copied onto the disk. Follow this procedure to create a bootable disk manually by making changes to a bootable floppy disk created with B's Recorder GOLD5.

Copying a CD-ROM driver
SCSI Users: Copy the ASPI Manager and the ASPI CD-ROM driver onto the disk.
PC Card Users: Copy the PC card driver software (e.g. Point Enabler) and the device's driver software onto the disk.

Refer to the drive or SCSI host adapter card manual for more details.
