BootCD - an alternative
Authored by: barryjaylevine on May 16, '02 11:38:36AM

BootCD would not boot my B&W; something about a video driver. Here's a solution that works every time - even from OSX:

1. Use Apple's Disk Copy (in OSX) and create an image from the OS9 CD. Make sure you specify "CD/DVD master" from the popup menu or it will not be bootable.

2. Mount the image and toss out the junk you won't need (like the installer stuff).

3. Drag over items like your Norton SystemWorks folder (making sure that the Norton SharedLib file is inside the Norton Tools folder - you can find it in your Extensions folder).

4. Unmount the image.

5. Use Disk Copy to burn the image back to a CD.

*presto*
